Does the pump run if, in the main relay connector, you jump voltage from the fuse 44 or 13 terminal to the fuel pump terminal?

where is fuse 44 located?? i ran a wire from battery straght to pump with a fuse and switch for temporary use, so that means the pump itself is fine? relay clicks as it should.. im baffled

See FAQs sticky for fuse box diagrams.

Then do the tests I suggested.

changed fuel pump, and resoldered main relay no difference

Pay a mechanic to fix your car. You'll spend less money in the long run because replacing parts aimlessly rather than diagnosing will get expensive.

You verified that the pump works by manually powering the pump, why replace it. Your issue could be a wiring from the fusebox or the mainrelay to the pump, or the main relay isn't receiving a signal from the ecu. Troubleshooting is the only way.

I had a good one spare i just said id try anyways, so what do you mean will i run wire from pump to the fuse 13, then see does it prime itself or what? i cant afford to bring to mechanic unfortunately
