If you were talking to somebody yesterday, if you stay on the original post. That person will receive a notice that your asking another question. If you post a new question they won't know.

At the initial prime, key on engine off, can you hear the pump run?

Did you use a voltage tester at the proper fuses?

You can see the ecmB fuse in the diagram, hot all the time. The gray wire voltage to pump motor, black is ground.

Voltage to the coil side of relay, dark green wire with white tracer, that voltage comes from pcm. The coil side of relay has to have voltage and ground or the relay won't energize. When the relay is energized, that line with the arrowhear on it, moves to the gray wire.
