No, but there's always the possibility of wiring damage/corrosion or bad connectors. Has it cured the problem?

I had this on a HDi 90 Xsara - on that the wire went directly from fuse to lift pump. so you could get it going by connecting a perm. live to that end of the fuse holder via a spade connector.

Eventually proved an open cct in the loom, never found it, just connected the bits that were supposed to be connected together with another bit of wire.
