if you have no fuel pressure and suspect the relay the easist way is to switch it with another relay in you box as long as it has the same numbers. next way if your really not good with elect testing is goi to the fuel pump find the wire harness and chech for power to pump while engine is being cranked before you do andthing check fuses with a test light key on fuses have a test port to stick test light point in ccheck both side of fuse your looking for power onboth sides of fuse is fuse has power one one side pull check and replace. note somee fuse dont have power on either side dont worry about thosr they are lighting fuse that get power when liights are turned on. if you have poer to pump and no pressure your pump is probaly bad listen for a hum near fuel filler nect while someone turns key

How do you tell if the fuel pump is bad or if it is the fuel pump relay?

If you turn on the ignition key without starting the engine you should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. If you do not check the fuel pump fuse and replace the relay before proceeding. If the fuse is good and the relay is good then you know the pump is more than likely defective.

The fuel pump will not come on. Of course this could be a blown fuse or the pump itself has failed. Check the fuse and if it is good then install a new relay to see if that solves the problem. If not the pump is bad.

If you hear the fuel pump running, then start by replacing the fuel filter. If you don't hear the pump, check the fuse. A fuel pressure test will verify if the pump is good or not. It can also be a fuel pump relay or in rare instances a defective ECU.
