Default car starting problem

I just bought a 94 eg hatch, and I am having a problem getting it started. When I turn the key to start, nothing happens. I hear a click from the main relay, and I dont hear the fuel pump prime. I am thinking its the main relay.

Is there anything else to check?

Did you take the cover off too see if the fuel pump is grounded? mine had a problem and the 10mm bolt on the dirvers door post came loose.

i tried using a different relay with the same results. I don't know for sure if that one is good though. I will check to see if the fuel pump is grounded good.
