My Bonne need help.
Hi Everyone, I have been following these posts for awhile but now I have a problem which I could really really use some advice. I have a 90 SSE in which I replaced the starter with a rebuilt myself. It started twice but wouldn't start from then on, I can't hear the fuel pump when I turn on the ignition, and disconnect one of the feed lines close to injectors and saw no pressure. I checked the fuse behind the glove box and there is power there ( meaning the fuse is ok). I had the fuel pump repaced by a service center about 5 years ago. Does anyone know where or if there is a relay for the electric fuel pump.Please tell there is and hopefully thats the only problem cause I really miss and need my bonne. I'm sure others can relate. If I have to replace the pump I will but as a last resort since it'* veeeeeeeeery cold out. Thanks for any help.
PS. By the way it'* white with 453,536 Km. My Baby..........sniff sniff .. I miss her deeplyand I can't let here go.

Take a foot or two of large wire and connect the positive terminal of your battery to the fuel pump test terminal. Does it kick in? If not, it'* a good chance it'* the relay. If you take the relay out, short terminals 1 and 4 together, and it still doesn't start, it'* the pump.

Thanks jwikoff99. I'll get back to you tomorrow and let you know how I made out.

I want to make a correction by saying that there are only 4 (not 5) black relays and one larger one at the top behind the glove box. I checked the 8 relays and found that they were all identical, the terminals were labeled 30,85,86,87 & 87. The two that made contact were 30 & 87 on all of them. on the larger one, terminals 1B & 5 as well as 2 & 4 made contact. As for the Fuel Pump Test Terminal, there were 2 behind the battery one green and one blue I put power to both with ignition on and off and heard no pump. I had to put a battery charger on, since the engine wouldn't turn over ( just clicking ). By the way I tested the Pump Terminal with the battery charger on. I really don't want to drop the tank unless I have to because it sure is cold out and with the slight slop in my driveway I don't have the strength to push it in the garage.
PS. I think my Bonne is upset with me, cause I said afew bad words after I installed the rebuilt starter and i wouldn't start after the 3rd try. I should have left it running after the 2nd . Bonne..... I promise I'll wash and vacuum you if you start this weekend....Promise!

I want to make a correction to my last post, there are 8 relays not 4. I should have said 4 rows totalling 8. And the mileage is correct, thanks harofreak00.
