The best way to see if the fuel pump relay is good or bad is just replacing it with a new one. Be sure and check the fuel pump fuse to make sure it is not blown. Also be sure and replace the fuel filter as it may be clogged. If all this is good and the fuel pump still will not run is more than likely defective. In fact the pump can be running and still not be able to pump fuel.
