2000 Chevy astro 4.3 fuel pump issue
Alternator seized up so I replaced it and belt. After which fuel pump didn't turn on so replaced it. Still doesn't start. Replaced fuel pump relay, no joy. Replaced ignition switch, no joy.
Here's the weird thing. I can jump the relay and pump runs. Forgot the exact relay number but I am get 2 12v readings on the relay...with relay out and multimeter testing. Getting 4 volts which I assume is sensor. This is all with key off. I thought I should only have 1 12v reading with key off but I'm getting 2. From what I read the prime will come on for 2 seconds and go off...looks like mine is staying on and draining my battery.
Haven't checked fuel pressure or spark on distributor.
Should I check that or do I have other issues?

your forgetting something ! the pump runs by a relay and a fuse ! first check the fuse ! when you jump the pump your by-passing the pump fuse and relay ! check the fuse first and than the relay !
