Thank-you for everything BTW!!!!

Where is the relay located???

I will check connections on the pump assy. In the tank

OK...some legitimate logic here... IF there is (as you indicated) 6+A with both fuses in place, we can assume that both relays (w/ ignition OFF) are not the issue: To have 6+A w/ FP1 and FP2 inserted, the relays are in series, i.e., current in series is common to all circuit components in series.

Next, I would "divide and eliminate": see what you have at the fuel pump connector. Note: Before going further, do NOT expose fuel vapors to the potential of electrical sparks - especially when making voltage measurements with an open fuel tank!! (Course you know that, but you might not be the only one on the internet reading this!)

If it is good there, then check resistance of both pumps, measured between the input power and the ground. Also, inspect both halves of the connector.

Not worried about fuel vapor and sparks....I live in front of a fire station!!!

Ignore those readings they are just an anomaly...
The connectors are corroded due to water that was in the tank.

Good job. Now, when the connector is cleaned up and sealed, is the resistance through the pumps more or less the same? If so, button it up. But, now go back to step (one) and measure current w/ the key off. It should be between 8-10A at the pump prime connector, yes?

Pumps put out 6.17a under load with gas and 2.70a pumping dry.
they both read about the same...they seem like replacement delco units from 2014.....All contacts were cleaned thoughly ....crud and water at the bottom of the tank....first offer of 7k CDN takes this puppy home( sans water in the tank)..

Got my order in from Jerry's today...
