Hey JJ,

It sounds like you're suspecting your fuel pump now. Your steps above are a little confusing to me (do you mean 'fuel pump' when saying 'fuel filter'?), but just step back:

The fuel pump is a dumb electrical device. Relays, safety switches and complex wiring issues aside, if you put power and ground directly to it and it doesn't run, then it's toast.

Jump it with a known good power supply and ground. If it doesn't spin, it's dead, so get rid of it and try another.

Edited to say: I think I read another post of yours a few days ago where you may have run the pump dry while testing. If you did this for any length of time, it's entirely conceivable that you may have burned the pump, making replacement all the more likely. Bottom line: put power across it and see what you get.

Edited yet again: (I'm up late) I also don't understand your testing of the relay terminals above. Here is a little primer on the relay terms:

30 - Switched (load) current in
85 - Switching current in
86 - Switching current out (ground)
87 - Switched (load) current out

87a - Current from 30 with no switching voltage applied across 85-86 (unused mostly).

Essentially, the relay completes the 30-87a circuit with no power applied through 85-86 (no switching current). When power is applied to 85 (and 86 grounds it), power flows from 30-87 instead of 30-87a. 87a is largely unused, so the relay becomes a simple on-off switch, with switching current supplied through 85-86, and load current from 30-87.
