I have a 95 intrepid, and just recently the car has had problems after a cold night with starting up. When I get up in the morning after it has been cold, the fuel pump doesn't kick in to prime before I fully crank the key. I sit and listen now before I fully crank because if I don't here anything I already know it won't start. Sometimes if I get out of the car and get the ice off of the windows and get back in and try again about 5 min. Later then it primes and starts just fine. The car runs fine after it is started.
The weather hasn't been cold for about a month now and just this past weekend it got cold again and the problem started again. I will be checking the fuses again, and I want to check the relay but have no idea on how to know if it is good or not. I am hoping the fuel pump is not the problem because I have already replaced that once.
Thank you for your help.

Your vehicle's fuel pump relay is located in the power distribution center (forward of left strut tower, in engine compartment). learn how to test a relay at https://www.2carpros.com/how_to/how_do_i_check_a_relay.htm
