If you have power going into the relay, you need to check to see if you have power coming out of it. They don't go bad that often but you can try swapping it with another one. There are several in the fuse box that are the same.

Also, the fuel pump relay may not get be getting a signal from the PCM to activate it. If that's the case, you may have a VATS problem.

And if you just rebuilt the motor you may have forgot to connect something? There are a few ground straps behind the heads you may want to check.

The harness grounds bolt to the back of the driver-side head, and are critical...the PCM sends 12VDC to close the relay, and the other side of the relay pull circuit is a permanent ground. Without that ground, the relay won't close and the fuel pump gets no voltage.

That is correct. All 3 grounds bolt to the back of the driver side cylinder head.

Where did you have them bolted to?
