Default 82 corvette no power to fuel pump

Have not been able to get the car to start. Battery is new.New fuel pump, new fuel pump fuse, power to fuel pump relay. Relay clicks. Power to orange wire on oil pressure switch. Fuel pump and car run fine with pos/neg wire direct from an aux wire. Can’t figure out where I’m losing power from pump relay to fuel pump. Any suggestions?

Did you change your relay? Lot of bad relays out there. Cannot remember if xfire ecm controls anything on the fuel pump circuit. When I carbed my 84 xfire I ran a new 12 gauge wire back to the fuel pump and used a new heavy duty marine type relay through a circuit breaker and a different oil pressure switch. Works great!

Do you have power at the fuel pump fuse (the fuse box under the dash, not the battery compartment) while you're are cranking?
