    Fuel pump not getting power

    Strange problem...318is shut off while driving the other day, so I coasted to a parking lot and tried starting it up unsuccessfully, it wouldn't fire.

    Towed it to my garage, noticed the fuel pump wasn't "buzzing" with the ignition on run. So I checked the fuses and read a post by Luke on how to jump the relay.

    Main relay has power and relay clicks and provides power to fuel pump relay (pin 30) however power never reaches pin 87. I tried 3 different relays no dice. When I jump 30 to 87 the pump buzzes and car starts. What would cause The relay to not close and push power to pin 87?
