All wires are so greasy cannot tell. With key on one wire lights test light. Think it may be chip in key. She only has one key. Take to key shop see if they can let me know. No noise for fuel pump at all. Hate taking up your time.

It is no problem. That is why we are here.

You need to test for power to the switch with the key in the start position. That will be the input from the ignition switch. Then there also should be an output, usually the purple wire, that goes on down the line.

The power for the relay control side, 85, comes from the neutral switch.

Did you verify that power at the switch was in start position only?

Impossible. You have a 12 volt battery.

We or you established there is no power to the control side of the relay from the switch. I want to confirm that there is power coming out of the switch. If there is no power, you have a switch issue. If you do have power, you have a wiring issue between the switch and the relay.

No problem at all.

You need to check voltage, not ohms.

Can you give me the reading in volts? You measure it with someone holding the key to the start position.
