Replacing a bad DME with jumpers to get home

So your POS DME relay went bad and you were too cheap to buy and carry a replacement? Well, you can remove the relay from it's socket and connect a wire between pins 30 and 87 to turn on the DME and between pins 30 and 87b to turn on the fuel pump. This is a hack, so do it only to get home, put a crowbar in your wallet and buy a new DME relay. Then fix your old one.
