I have a 1986 dodge ram 150 4 x 4. I can not seem to get power from the auto shutdown relay to the fuel pump in the tank.. If that is the way it is supposed to work.. I followed the two electrical lines from the pump and ended up at this auto shutdown relay. I can put power straight from a electrical source and the pump runs, but no luck other wise Thank you

Power should go from the auto shutdown relay to the fuel pump relay (probably on the same bracket), so the problem could be with the pump relay. Down side,,,,,,, the computer supplies the ground for both.
