Yeah, those 1000 and 1500Ohm wires are the ballast resistors/wires.

Definitely confine your investigation to the wires to and from the relay. Odds of a new relay being NFG are low, if not zero. Testing all the leads should resolve the issue.

If that pesky green/white wire has zero resistance to the tach and coil as shown on the wiring diagram, that should be enough.

One thing I'm not completely certain you've checked: can you verify you have +12V on relay terminal 15 when ignition switched on, and a good ground on pin 31 of the relay at all times?

In addition to needing the tach signal, those are the control circuit for the relay; very easy to have a break there.

Finally, might also help to share pics of the wiring diagram printed on the side of your fuel pump relays (both original and replacement) - make sure those are correct and match the wiring diagram...

I get 9.6v from 15, the ignition terminal with ignition on. I get 1.2v from the tach signal with ignition on.

Original relay, I believe, and the replacement KAE 3.300.300

But what about the ground?

The ones near the relay board are a little corroded, I'll have to work on getting in there to clean them. However I was checking voltage off of that ground terminal.

Engine to body is a little corroded might need to be replaced.

Also interesting battery to body, goes battery to engine...

The green and white wires I have <1ohm between the coil and relay board and tach and relay board.

Definitely clean your grounds before going any further.

cleaned all the crounds, and terminals on the back of the relay panel. That was a big job on hooking all of them and getting them back up.

I did resolve the issue. I had the tach hooked up backwards... opps. Working now.
