Zoran, the ECU only provides ground for one of the relays, that is the fuel pump relay. If you manually provide ground to pin 85 of that relay the fuel pump should run 100% of the time as long as the key is also on. Does it? It is unlikely that all 3 ECUs would be bad the same way unless something about your van is killing them. I doubt this but testing the ECUs in another van should answer that. It is possible that the wire pin on the ECU connector is pushed out of position. It would be pin 3. Page 24.61 shows the Digifant 25 pin connector layout. Another possibility is a break in the wire from ECU pin 3 and fuel pump relay pin 85. When you manually provide the ground for the relay, exactly how are you doing it?
