87 mustang convert still not working

i've got a new pump ,good lines and cylinders,13 to 14volts at the
plug for the pump,and when i try the switch all i still get is the
click from the resistors.any suggestions would be appreciated cause i
have no ideas left

Guess you mean 'relay'... where ARE they? were they replaced?

HOW CAN YOU GET 13 VOLTS AT THE PUMP BEFORE YOU FLIP THE SWITCH?

is the pump a standard 3 wire model one wire goes to ground the other two
are forward(up) and backward (down) or a two wire ( the current reverses at
the relay). either way you shouldn't have power at the pump until the switch
is pushed. keep looking

iI have power when the switch is engaged. it is the 3 wire
configuration.pull the switch forward one line is hot ,push switch in
the other line is hot .this plug is after the relays so its not the
relays right? If it were the relays there wouldn't be power after them
to the plug

The only thing that counts is if the power is there WITH the plug
connected to the pump.

Short lesson in ohm's law which we dont have time for.. if you see LOW
OHMS.. maybe one ohm.. on the pump side, then connect 'em and see no
voltage THEN you have burnt relay contacts.

ok if you get reveserving current one wire hot at a time. check to see if
the center wire is supplying a steady ground. do you get 12 plus volts from
one wire to center or from the one wire to a known ground? if the plug just
before the motor is providing both a 12 volt source and a constant ground
without poping fuses the pump motor is bad. even if its "replaced" it could
be defective.
