Thanks for your input, Joel, Bill and Robert.  The battery may be a bit
weak, so I tried starting the car with a jump from a good one after
tapping on the pump with a wooden handle.  Still no luck.  I'd like to
check the voltage output by the pump relay.  However, the instructions
that came with my voltmeter warned against possible surge damage to the
meter from testing a circuit where a motor was turning on or off.
Should I use a testing light instead?  Also, how can I test the battery
without damaging the meter?
Thanks,
Lee
