If the relay is bad, then the fuel pump will not work.
Bad fuel pump?
Are you sure you pulled the right relay?
Yes, it is a fuel pump relay.
After replacing the fuel filter and checking the fuel pump fuse and relay it still does not work, replace it.
Make sure you have voltage at the pump. If you do then the new pump is defective. If not, the fuse is blown or the fuel pump relay is bad. Where is relay?
If the fuel pump relay switch is bad then the fuel pump will not be turned on. Think of the relay like a light switch. If the switch has a bad connection then the light doesnt work.
AnswerTells the fuel pump when to kick on and off. The relay has a coil and contacts, when energized, it holds the contact closed, thus the fuel pump operates.
Blown fuse, defective fuel pump relay or the fuel pump has failed.
check the relay first,and then the fuses if this does not work the fuel pump will most likely need replaced
The fuel pump relay is under the front hood on the Passenger side, inside a cover held on by screws. the fuel pump relay is Blue or light green. The white one is the "main" one. It has to work to make the fuel pump relay to work when starting the car with the key. To test the pump, read diagram on fuel pump relay and use jumper wire to close the switch and if pump works you can hear it running in the trunk at that cover plate.
Does the fuel pump work? Check that. yes.
Blown fuse, defective fuel pump relay, or the pump itself is defective.
