My 720 aftermarket (Oriellys) fuel pump died yesterday. Replaced it..shortly afterwards the radio decided it would only work when it felt like it. Then the Alternator did not show a charge on the meter or idiot light. Hmmmm..installed new alt. still no charge. Noticed the horn wasn't working either. I expect there is a rely somewhere that went south.

Anyone know or have experience with this issue. Where is the relay???

Thanks so much

Don

You need to check all your fuses, just because they look good doesn't mean they are good, replace them all if you have to.
The second thing you need to look at is your fusible links, they are the black and green wires coming off the positive battery post, if you don't have a volt meter or test light to check them, then just grab each one with your fingers and feel for the wire inside the wire, if you cannot feel the wire from one end to the other then you have likely blown that fusible link.
