Well gang...
Mopar1973Man is back out in his shop and found the cause of P1689 error codes.

When this relay is missing the VP44 doesn't energize nor pump fuel. It allows you to do the cranking test. But it also sets a P1689 and CEL light. So for all of you that have a P1689 error code present check your fuel pump relay first by trading with another relay!
