Hi

Check for loose pins on that fuel relay socket.
The pins can get spread open/corroded and start arcing and
become in the worse case a toaster at the relay socket.
Either repair or replace loose pins.

Get connector parts/pins/wiring info/etc. at www.davebarton.com
He suggests using Penetrox on connectors to deter oxidation
and possible electrolysis on the pins. Info at his extensive site.

You can measure current flow via the fuel pump fuse socket.
I'm not certain if a failing fuel pump draws more current.
But I'm guessing that a healthy fuel pump should draw less than 10 Amps.

Good luck, Bill
