Question: does power have to pass through any fuse before going to the fuel pump relay?
When I have my lovely assistant try to start the car, I'm reading zero volts to the fuse box connectors for the signal side of the relay, and zero volts across the connectors for the power side of the relay. So I suspect juice isn't flowing to the relay.
Background:
Previously I "fixed" a no-start by swapping a fuel pump relay (the black one labeled Circuit Or SPV on the cover chart) from my parts car. Car ran great after that.
Now I'm working on the car after an unexpected tow truck ride last week, shut off after leaving a gas station.
Because the fuse box relay spot is noticeably charred, I swapped the entire fuse box from my parts car (which ran beautifully before the rust rendered it inoperable and I sold the motor), as the parts car box has mere discoloration. Still no start.
I tested both relays with some leads and my spare battery, both go click when juice is applied to the signal spades.
When I apply 12v to the fuel pump I can hear it whirr, but it's not loud. I had Lovely Assistant try to start the car like this but I couldn't hold the leads on steady enough due to mosquito swarms LOL.
