Fuel pump

It showed that there was power from the harness when we hooked it up to the voltage meter. But when we hooked the fuel pump up to it, it does not kick on. And this is with both the "old" fuel pump we had and the new one we purchased also. Neither one of them were kicking on when we hooked them up to the car. But did kick on when we tried them on the voltage meter thing.

I would look for a bad ground. You have power but need grounds as well. It most likely is a black wire bolted to the frame somewhere.

Ok. Now they have figured out that there is NOT power at the electrical connector behind the back seat that the fuel pump hooks up to. Fuel pump relay switch is good. What about the ASD relay? If that has been activated, how do we deactivate it to get power to the pump connector? There is also no spark when we try to start the car. But I was told that the ASD switch will shut down the fuel pump and ignition spark. If that is my problem, how do I correct it? Does that sound like it could possibly be my problem? Also, I do not see an ASD relay in the fuse box. There is a 20 amp ASD fuse in the fuse box, which is good, but there is no actual ASD relay switch. And according to the Haynes auto book, the ASD relay is in the fuse box, but we don't see it. There is only a 20 amp fuse but no actual little black box that is the ASD relay. Thank you.
