fuel pump

[Christian Williams <delorean@xxxx>]

This morning on the way to work, the engine stalled and would not start
again. Last night I put new brake pads on the car all around. Afterward I
took the car for a spin, so I don't think that the fuel pump failure is
related to the brake work I did last night.

When turning the key to the "on" position, I do not hear the 2-3 seconds
of buzzing that the fuel pump usually makes. I read through the archives
and figured out where to start looking. Here's what I found:

1. Jumpering the brown and and purple wires on the RPM relay did not start
the fuel pump.

2. #1 fuse is not blown

3. #7 fuse is missing. I remember noticing that it was missing a week or
two ago. I don't believe it's ever been there. How could the fuel pump run
without it? Tried putting a fuse in for #7 - nothing different.

4. Using a volt meter on the main harness where the fuel pump connects
yeilded no signal.

Does it sound like there's an electrical problem between the RPM relay and
the fuel pump? Is there any way to directly test the fuel pump - perhaps
hooking some sort of power source directly to the pump??

Any ideas are more than welcome. This is my daily driver car.
