Trying to figure out why my fuel pump is not getting any power and determined the power for the pump comes directly off the coil. The voltage leaving the relay panel is ~12V, but coming into the coil is only about 2-3V - that is with the wire disconnected - with it connected to the coil it is only ~.3V. Is this right? How do I determine if the coil is bad? How much for a new one?

I do not think I was looking at the corect wiring diagram. There is not a wire from the coil to the pump? I think the fuel pump is wired into the relay and fuse on the relay panel. I checked the pump while I had somebody turn the car over and still did not get any power - shoudl I assume that there is an issue at the relay board? Will hopefully do some more checking to ensure it is the fuse/relay at the panel?

Sorry for all the confusion!
