Hi,
I've never heard of clicking fuel pumps or relays ?
Got plenty of juice in the battery ?, like bright headlights ?
does it crank on the starter ?
If I just need to get 'em running, I'll often jumper or hot wire the fuel
pump, it that makes the van start and run, then I know I have a fuel pump
control system problem.
'substitute and bypass' I call it - can learn a lot quickly often, plus get
it running and moving.

I have two parts vans with the same issue:
when you turn the key to start and you would normally hear the fuel pump
turn on and charge the system.
these two pumps just click and the vans won't start.
does this sound like shot pumps or electrical/relay?
they have run recently, just decided not too lately.
more snow coming and I need to move them.

TIA,

dylan
