I like to start at the FP relay with stuff like this. I probe the terminals in the relay socket (during the prime-out) and note the values.

Jrichker's no start checklist will be of great assistance to you.
Good luck.

check the inertia switch mounted behind the taillight panel. Make sure it is pressed.
