Kia Sportage 1998 Fuel Pump dead by gjan

My 1998 Kia Sportage fule pump will not run. The pump tests ok out of the car, the relays have been replaced, but the pump doesn't run. Any idea what to look for next?

Have you test whether power is getting to the pump when it's in the car?

Yup it's not. I tested at the under-hood fuse box where the fuel pump relay is. The fuel pump relay port only shows power on one terminal always. Nothing showing on others when key turned on or cranking.

That suggests there is a problem with the pump's electrical connections. Does yours have some kind of electrical plug?

Not sure where you're going...I ran the relay test described elsewhere at Edmunds, and found that, since the only place I have power to the relays is the constant power terminal, no other terminal has power at key position "On" or ignition, that the indication would be that the failure is someplace between battery and relay. All fuses are good, so I'm wondering:
Do any sensors have the potential to block power to the relay through their own failure?
Or is the main computer bad? Or a bad ground somewhere? All other electrical functions work.
Which is more likely?

Not sure where you're going...
 
Me neither! But you said the pump functions correctly when removed and the battery/relays are okay so I'm wondering whether all the connections are good. Regarding sensor or electronic control modules being at fault, I suppose that's possible. Perhaps someone with hands on experience would care to jump in and offer some advice. Anyone?

At KEY ON, you should have the fuel pump relay coil hot on one side. The ECM grounds the other side of coil. 12V is fed to FP relay coil from a green wire coming form the MAIN RELAY. Hence MAIN relay must operate first. ECM activates the main relay coil ground side.
 Missing 12V at the FP coil means something is lost somewhere.
fuel pump circuit
There have been cases of ignition key failure...so some means to check for that should come first, just in case.
