Good Afternoon

I drive a 1986 245 with an unknown mileage in excess of 214K, the odometer quit working 2 years ago. The car has been very reliable. This morning I drove my car in heavy rain. Latter 3 hours later it would not start.

I could not hear the main fuel pump running. So I started to troubleshoot with my Bentleys. I located the fuel pump relay and found that the rain had leaked into the car filled the relay with water. I blew out the water with compressed air and replaced the relay but the car would not start. The relay has two coils. One side moves and clicks loudly when the ignition switch is turned on. The other coil does make noise or move. That is the hot side of the relay with the heavy gauge red wire. I jumpered the relay and could get the fuel pump to run. I measured volume of gas flow at the engine by filling a standard sized campbell soup can in about 7 seconds. I believe the relay is the problem. It would be to much of a coincidence if were not. Still I am not sure. Spark is good and strong at the pulgs.

Please kick me the right direction.

Thanks
