Someone please help I've been ripping my hair out over this. I have a 1987 5.0
Turned off vehicle one day and then fuel pump would no longer turn on. I rewired connectors to fuel pump and jumped them and the fuel pump works. I bypassed my inertia switch so I went straight to the FP relay. I get 12 volts at every prong on relay except fuel pump wire. So I disconnected that wire and tested the bare prong and it gets 12V! But the second the wire touches it or is just connected when I turn the key and it drops to .013V... idk anymore.
