No power to fuel pump

Electrical problem 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

The engine was fine before the fuel pump locked up. After I removed the fuel pump, I tested the old pump to make sure that it was the problem. I checked it by connecting it to 12 volts and the pump would not operate-all it would do was click. Now-the new pump will not (run)operate. I tested the new fuel pump to make sure that it was good by applying it directly to 12 volts and it does run. But, when the pump is connected to the wiring harness, it does not work. I checked for power at the fuel pump connections-no voltage whatsoever. Checked all fuses in the engine compartment-they're ok. Checked all fuses in the passenger compartment-they're ok. I started checking the relays-but I was unable to identify the fuel pump relay nor the ASD relay. No wiring schematic is available-so I need help please!

Hello,

This sounds like it can be the fuel pump relay or the MFI relay I have found all of the engine and fuel pump wiring diagram along with the fuse panel and relay locations. Here are a couple of giuse for you to go over and then down to the diagrams.

The fuse panel for the interior panel is at the end of the dash on the driver's side. There is another fuse box in the engine compartment on the driver's side.
The relay for the fuel pump is in the same area as the fuse panel inside the car at the end of the dash on the driver's side. I am including a diagram of the location and some descriptions of what else is there.
