My fuel pump quit priming when you turn the key. i replaced the fuel pump beings it has not been replaced and still will not prime. i am trying to find the fuel pump relay but everywhere I look it says you can not replace it unless you replace the fuse box. Is the fuel pump relay really the one above the blue flasher relay behind the radio?

Your picture shows three relays. I only have two in mine. I have a black relay on top and a blue relay in the bottom.
