hmm , maybe so but turns over and turns off is the incorrect way to word the events going on.....correct way is fires up briefly than dies.....anyway to the OP just because prongs aren't burnt doesn't mean the relay is still any good.......ever hear of an open in the windings???, first thing I'd do then is test for current back at the pump connector

Is the fuel pump safety switch the round piece of plastic behind the driver tail light? Other than that I don't see a switch.

I feel foolish. I don't see anything like that. If would I have to pull off the trim that leads to the tail lights to see it? Thanks for the help btw, I learn more about my own car every day.
