Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

The fuel pump relay is not a typical relay that can be replaced. It is part of the Integrated Control Relay Module and is located at the front of the engine compartment, on the upper radiator support. I attached a picture of its location.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

How can I test it to find out if it is causing fuel pump not to work? I cut the fuel shut off wires and spiced them together. Put test light on wires and got nothing. So as far as I can tell I do not have power to that point.

Hi again. I will try again. I am not sure what happened, but they are clear on my end. Let me know if this is better. You may need to copy and paste it into a paint or word document so it can be enlarged.

Let me know.

Hi again. The power supply should be a pink and black wire. See the attached table for wire designations and colors.
