hi. (72 1.7 FI). my fuel pump won't run. I've checked all the fuses, relays etc.
when I used an alternative power sourse (battery charger) to the fuel pump it works, so I know it's an electrical problem.
Could it be in the actual ignition switch ??? Just looking for ideas, let me tell you I am really bad at electronics, so please keep answers so an normal ignorant person (myself) can understand.
tks for your help.

The overall condition of the relay board is excelent

another stupid thing before you dive into the world of (semi)electronics ...

did you rotate the fuses? sometimes, especially in moist weather, the contacts can corrode just a bit and even thought the fuse is not burned up, it won't make contact.
rotating them in their socket will fix that.

also, even thought it is very unlikely, your brain could have died!
