    fuel pump not getting any power after swap

    I'm ready to start my truck but I don't seem to be getting any power to the fuel pump. I switched the pink/black wire from the old relay to the new one coming from the new computer. I don't get power at the in line fuse under the hood. Did I forget something? Do I need to connect it differently?
    I don't have a pressure at my gauge and I don't hear it prime. Does the oil pressure switch from the old comp not being hooked up effect it?
    Its a 91 c1500 by the way.

    Oil pressure switch mattered on a stock 91 but as to a swap someone else needs to answer.

    I would run a new relay, get rid of the oil pressure thing.

    pin 85 - pcm
    pin 86 - battery/ignition
    pin 87 - battery fused
    pin 30 - fuel pump power

    you can switch 85/86 and 87/30.

    just be sure you have power and the relay is triggering.

    I received a new relay with the new harness. I connected a wire that said fuel pump 12v+ to switched power. It only had 4 wires on the new relay comppared to the stock one having 5. So I took the one going to the pump itself (pink/black) and pinned it in the open spot on the new relay. Same spot as the stock one. The other 3 I didn't touch cause it looked like they went to the pcm

    Sounds good. I take it, you worked out your fuel pump relay wiring issue.
