Help me get a 931 Started/Running??

So I'm now the owner of this 52k mile 1980 931. It's a bit of a rough car but I see potential in saving it, as it's all in one piece.

So far, I've determined I've got spark and air (I think?), and the car cranks/turns over but fuel is what's missing. I've videos below on what's going on so far.

What's confusing is that it seems anything electric triggers the fuel pump with the car in the 'on' position.
(Fuel pump triggered by manual adjustment on headlight motor...Can't tell if sound is indicative of a good or bad pump?)

I've ordered a new fuel pump relay and have replaced most or all of the fuses in the fuse box. I'm lost on how all of these electrical bits are tied to the motor starting though. Any help would be appreciated!!

Hi Karl - congrats on the new ride! I've attached a link to our site's DIY tech articles on the 924 platform; I hope you'll find these useful for troubleshoot and getting it running. Hope this helps and best of luck!
