HELP needed getting fuel pump to turn on!

ok, my brothers 87 GTA has been taking up precious garage space here at my house for over a year now, and it's because the fuel pump wont turn on,

i went through some similar issues with my car, from dropping my 87 IROC's fuel tank, pump, lines, etc, and getting mine working again... and more recently replacing the computer (ECM) when it blew, causing my pump to stop working

---with my brothers car, we have dropped hte tank, replaced the pump with a new one, and checked the fuel relay (on the firewall drivers side) etc...

my question is, what else could this possibly be.. the pump works, we have hooked it up to a 12 volt batt. and it runs, when we hook it up to the harness connector above the rear axel, it gets no impulse.. a test light confirms that there is electircal impulse there at the harness... how can we furthur diagnose this, fix this, or what else could it be,....

is there a FUSE someplace? there has to be? anybody know where? .. when we try to start the car.. the fuel pump relay box makes a click , but the pump makes no noise.. what does this mean???

-any help would be appreciated... as i am trying to get his car out of hte garage and mine inthere so i can begin the massive overhaul on the bodywork and paint...
