Did your inertia (sp) switch get flipped somehow?

No, I also checked the inertia switch its fine. What else is there? I remember someone saying that the fuel pump relay is'nt a stand alone system. Fuel pump=good, fuel pump relay=good, inertia switch=good, ignition switch=good.

The inertia switch could still be bad, I have seen many a one degrade accross the contact points, thats why they are still a parts bin item at ford. Short accross the plug and check your voltage again. also check voltage at the plug as that is fed directly from the relay.

Ok I've figured it out. My car came from the factory with a 4 pin relay. I had to search 4 different parts stores before I found a 4 pin relay for a 91 mustang 5.0. Everyone just had 5 pin relays. I ended up buying 3 different 4 pin relays for my car thinking they must be defective before I tried one of the 5 pin ones. THE 5 PIN ONE WORKS! Sounds weird but its true, the one that came out of the car was 4 pin but only a 5 pin will work.

that makes sense the relay layout is a standard bosch 5 wire relay, ford didnt use all 5 pins, so they just left one out.
