So you think the Fuel Pump relay is good, but the FI is bad?

From the probing you just did, it indicates the f1 relay is not closing. Some relays click and still do not operate correctly.

What are the odds of both relays being bad?

I bought one the other day and put it in the fuel pump spot. Then I tested the existing relays one after the other in the FI slot. Same issue.

Put the new relay in the f1 slot and check the white/blue wire switch on.

No check the white/blue wire out of f1 relay. I hope you been probing the f1 relay all this time and not the fuel relay.

How is that possible if the relay is in the slot? I wouldn't be able to touch the end to the copper contacts inside the slot.

:banghead

How did you check the white/blue wire the first time with the relay connected on the f1 slot? You have to pull the relay and connector out far enough to probe the back side of the relay terminals on the connector plug or either probe the wires going into the relay.

Ok, I feel retarded.

The relay was not in the slot. I was checking the copper contacts inside the slot. How else can the testing light end reach the copper contacts?

Sorry, I am an idiot.

Plug f1 relay in and probe the white/blue wire going into it and see if it lights.

Leave F1 plugged in and plug in the fuel relay and probe the pink wire at the fuel relay turn switch on. Does it light?
