Can someone please help me solve this electrical problem?
On my 1996 JDM Rav4, the circuit opening relay is in a relay block under the panel that houses the fuse block and the hood opening latch. I know I am working with the correct relay because when I manually engage it, the fuel pump runs.
My problem is that the relay will not engage when I crank the engine.
Things tried:
Tested the relay, and it works.
Checked blue wire with a black stripe from the fuel pump connector to the diagnostic port for continuity. OK
tested the fuel pump relay, in the engine compartment. OK
Both 7.5 am fuses, EFI in engine compartment fuse box, and 7.5 under the dash by Circuit opening relay. OK
The fuel pump works when it is provided 12V, directly and when the circuit opening relay is manually closed.
An observation: The tachometer does not move when I crank the engine. The engine attempts to start each time I try as if on fumes because the pump is not sending any fuel.
