just checked the voltages on the rear pumps im getting 12 volt under the plate passenger side the one under the drivers side im getting 12 volts on one plug but on the plug with the brown and green wire there is no voltage at all

What year? is it an E30 or E36, 325 covers a lot of cars, E30 has a fuel pump under the car,
E36 has a fuel pump in the tank.

its a 94 the pumps are located under the rear seats

[glyndawn]

i think it a E34

If it is a 94 it's an E36. It has one pump under the passenger side back seat.
Have you taken it out and inspected it?
It can be soldered, as a matter of fact, the pump can be replaced without replacing the fuel sending unit assembly, but you have to solder it in.
I did it in my car.
You can test the pump without removing it.
Do a forum search, just type in fuel pump, you will find all sorts of info on fuel pump problems.
Unfortunatly, a very common, and popular subject.

Under My Seat There Is A Unit On The Passenger Side With One Plug In It I Have Checked This With A Voltage Meter Getting 12 Volts

On The Drivers Side There Is Another Unit With 2 Plugs On It Ive Checked Theses Again One Plug As 12v The Other Is Dead

Ive Checked The Relay Thats Fine Ive Had This Problem Before The Garage Said Its A Bad Connection

But Trying To Sort It Myself As Im Selling It And Dont Wanna Spend Any Cash On It

The Socket That As No Power Is A Green/yellow Wire And A Brown Wire

Ive Gone Back About 10 Inches And Checked Again But Still No Voltage Is This Surpossied To Have A Voltage ????????

Talking driver and passenger is confusing if you have a RHDrive car.

On the Right side, fuel filler side, is the pump. It's has two connectors, one for the pump power and one for the level sender. The Left side just has the sender. The sender can be tested for resistance to prove it is measuring the fuel level.

The problem I have seem in the pump only gets power for a short time when the key is switched on then nothing until the engine starts.
