I checked the car out today and I still can't figure out what it is. I have tried to jump out the 1, 3, and 7 terminals and the car will still not start. I have 1 source of positive voltage at the harness all the time which is terminal 1. When I turn the key to on, terminal 5 has voltage. And when I turn the key to start I have voltage I think at 6. I have ohmed out the relay according to the instructions on that webpage and it ohmed out fine. I don't think it is the ignition switch due to me getting power at 6 when I turn it to start. Could it possible be the ecu?

didn't know there was an ohm out for the relay. was that in that link that i posted.
when working on a VW long ago, there were 2 terminals in the relay socket to short. had to make a shorter to do the job.
short those 2 and turn the key on and if the fuel pumps works, then the relay is defective.
dont know with this more complicated relay if that can be done.

Yeah it was in the link that you posted, but it was also in the Haynes manual that I have.

so haynes says to jump 5 and 7 at the harness.
and you did that and the pump worked.

i would get a new relay.
i re-soldered mine - but it (the web site) does not recommend that.

Yeah I have also jumped out 1,3, and 7 at the same time and according to the website the car should of started. I guess I'll go pick up a relay tomorrow and try and see if it works.
