Help finding Fuel Pump Relay

I originally thought I had a bad fuel pump but I put 12v to the G Terminal of the ALDL and heard the pump run. I recently changed out my brake booster and I believe I may have either caused a loose conection or possibly shorted out the FP Relay or the Fuel Pump/Oil Pressure switch sender. Any help finding and identifying these 2 parts would be greatly appreciated so I can get my car rolling again. Thanks in advance.

You have 3 solenoids on the driver side firewall the middle on one is your fuel pump.

I found it and replaced it. Looks like it is not the problem. Thanks

Re: Help finding Fuel Pump Relay

Are you sure it was the fuel pump relay you replaced? Like said, there's 2 or 3 there, but "middle" one might not be it - after 20+ years anyone could have changed which was where.

Also, did you check the connector for the relay? Often the connector will be bad, not the actual relay. You should be able to remove connector from relay, and jumper the connector, tan/white wire to orange wire - should make pump run with key on.

Re: Help finding Fuel Pump Relay

The car cranks but doesn't start. I just replaced the battery, brake booster, and the fuel pump relay. I have put 12v to the G Terminal and heard the fuel pump run. When I turn the key to the On position, I don't hear the Fuel Pump Prime.

The fuel pump relay connector did have a lot of grease in it. I cleaned it out before putting on the new relay. My next shot will be at the Fuel Pump/Oil Pressure Switch.
