Fuel pump doesn't come on - coupe GT5e

Yes, the fuel pump relay sounds like the culprit. It happened to a CQ i used to own. An auto electrician rebuilt the relay for not much money which cured the problem. The relay does burn out, but it can be hastened by a failing pump drawing too much current which overloads the relay so the pump replacement was probably a good idea. Also, change the fuel filter, an often neglected maintenance area in these cars. A knackered or blocked fuel filter can make the pump fail more quickly.
