To test the relay and pump simultaneously use a spare piece of wire and jump the orange wire to the green wire with the white stripe.
Did you hear the pump run when you did that?

When you see fog or “running” lights on in good weather beware. WLow performance driver ahead.

Now turn the key to the RUN position.
Did the voltmeter show voltage?
If no, there is a faulty ECM or bad connection going to it.
