fuel pump relay circuit problem 200 1983

This is a 1983 240 turbo that stalled while I was driving out of a parking lot. Turned over, but I couldn't hear the fuel pump buzz. I thought it might be a fuel pump relay problem and a simple fix, so replaced the relay with a new spare when I got the car home. That didn't fix it. I checked the BB archives and Bentley, and did a bit of troubleshooting.

1. Fuses, 5,7, and 13 are all good.

2. I jumped left connectors for fuses 5 and 7, and the car started right up. So, it looks like the fuel pump relay circuit is the problem.

3. I then disconnected the relay and checked power at the connector positions for 30 and 15 following Bentley, although I'm not sure if I did that right. For position 30, I connected it to either side of fuse 7 using an indicator light, and lit up the indicator.

4. I did the same thing with position 15 of the relay connector and fuse 13 and got no voltage. On this one, especially, I'm not sure if I should have gone from position 15 of the relay connector to ground or somewhere else. Right now I'm stuck. I'm wondering if it is in the circuit for position 15 and ignition switch and/or coil, but am just guessing. Wires connected the coil at 1 and 15 look OK.

I can use any help offered. Would especially be interested to know if I checked the relay circuits correctly and what to do next.
