TIPM Bypass Problems, Chrysler, Dodge & Ram Vehicles

Ran into a problem with using a TIPM bypass wire for the fuel pump on a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country van. The vehicle belongs to an elderly couple and the fuel pump had been in the process of failing so I installed a new pump assembly. I also installed a fuel pump bypass wire in the TIPM to keep the cost of the repair within their budget. As we all know, no good deed goes unpunished. The van came back with a complaint that sometimes the engine will crank over but not start. I have installed dozens of these for those in need over the past few years with no problems so this was kind of new. My first suspicion was that the new fuel pump might have an issue. Testing showed that the fuel pressure would drop from the vehicle sitting for an extended time. Nothing surprising there. The next thing I found out was that when using the bypass wire setup the fuel pump does not turn on when the ignition is in the crank position. Ultimately, I replaced the internal fuel pump relay and found out for sure that the factory fuel pump relay is energized in both the crank and run positions.
The cheap way to overcome this is to simply turn the ignition on for a few seconds before trying to start the engine, if the vehicle has sat for more than a day.
