Question edited to what I think you thought you were saying. Add maker, and put 'year make model in the right order. You need an auto electrician to connect a pro grade scan tool computer and check the Body Control Module for correct function. You can't fix strangeness like that yourself and you don't want the airbag going off just because it feels like. It may be time expired. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

Hi Joel If not in left side kick panel(early models).Normally above or below fuse remover clip. Check left side of boot in rear electrical centre. Should be in hand book, should also be a picture in the fuse cover If neither of these places may not have a relay it will be dependent on type of fuel system.You have not stated why you require to find fuel pump relay. Do you have a start or running issue?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. You can't, it is run by the ECM. Just test the fuse and the fuel relay. https://www.google.com/search?q=holden+commodore+vz+fuse+box+diagram https://www.google.com/search?q=holden+commodore+vz+fuel+pump+relay+testing ..

Question edited to add maker. Question moved to make model category. Okay Fred we can work with this post rather than the last one. You did a conversion that is fraught with dangers. Your car is driven and operated by computers and you changed the engine. Everything electronically is looking for the V6 engine that was there before. My gut feeling is that you need an ECM and BCM from a V8. The best course of action is to find a good local auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. He might be able to reprogram it or flash it. Of course a simple reason is that the fuel gauge sender is broken. An electrician can check that.

Question edited for clarity and Australian English :>D Question moved to a better category. No, the immobilizer system is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do. The car doesn't know that you are the owner. The workings are complex, a transponder chip in the key to a receiver in the steering column which communicated to the anti-theft / security / alarm module which relays information to the ECM which allows power to the ignition system. You have to fix what is wrong, not find a way around it. The dealer will make you a key based on the VIN number, or a good mobile locksmith may be able to help with key cutting and programming.

Question edited. Added maker, guessed a year! Does is have immobilizer and alarm? Did you disconnect the battery. You need to reset. https://www.google.com/search?q=1995+Holden+VS+Commodore+have+no+spark ..

this is not an uncommon problem. you will need to go to your local holden dealer and purchase a new gear shift button. To fit the new gear shift button you will need to remove the centre console insert and the screw that holds the t-bar trim in position..

first thing to do is check for any error codes! Should tell you what the problem is and that BLACK smokes means it is running rich (getting to much fuel)! Do a google search on how to check the OBD!

check for broken timing belt/chain check crank/cam position sensors check that the immobilizer is operational

Is it the globe or no power to the socket?.... Either way above your number plate you'll see the lense and it'll have a clip or screws either unclip and remove or unscrew and remove there you'll find the globes

What's the throttle body like? Any carbon build up

check your in-line fuses and the wires at your starter

The lock rod must have fallen off due to a broken retainer. remove the door panel and repair whatever issues you find with the lock rod. If the plastic rod retainer is broken the dealer can supply a new one for about $2.00 US

I am not too familiar with Australian vehicles, except the rebadged Holden Monero that was sold as a "Pontiac GTO" in the States in 2005 and 2006, and since your Holden is likely to be a GM vehicle, I am sure the same diagnosis applies. You have what is called an Idle Air Control valve that is located on the throttle body. If it is stuck in the wide open position, it will cause your engine to race. I would say that is the first place to look. GM has a huge problem with their IAC valves going bad.
