Default fule pump wont turn on

my car wont start because the fule pump is not turning on. besides the connections on the pump where are the other connections? also what else should i look for?when you turn the ignition there is no buzz from the pump turning on.

you either have no spark, or the main relay has crapped out.

i can almost garauntee its your main relay, it is a common problem. the relay can be repaired all you have to do is take off the cover on the relay and resolder the pins on the p/c board the broken solder connection will have a ring aroud it inside the solder joint.

having no spark has nothing to do with the fuel pump not priming

Do your cluster lights light up when you put the key in the last position?

this is the inside of the main relay, you can see a faint white ring on the solder joint.

Also check the ground on the t-stat housing, if it's not tight, no fuel pump

have you checked all of the fuses. I seen people that tried to do fuel pump kills blow fuses. Also does the car have a kill switch that you might not of know about because this happens alot.

I'm guessing you have a 92-95 Civic?

its to the left of the interior fuse box (by driver's side lower dash)

There will be a 10mm thats holding it onto the dash. Should be a grey looking box
