I have no power at the pump.

I have 12.4 volts at pin #13 on the relay board.

No power at pin #5 or 7, old eyes can't see the stripe colors very well.

Fuses are good.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

here is a simple test, fast, effective and isolates the issue: run your hot wire directly from the fuel pump to the positive post of the coil. assuming you have power at the coil in the ignition position. i am suspect of your diagnostics. fuel pumps fail, relay boards are old. if you power up the ignition, your pump will run continuously. if it does, your problem is in the wiring. if the pump does not run, your pump failed. pretty simple really. if the car wont start but the pump runs, it aint the fuel delivery or a wiring issue to power the pump problem. not injected, no need for volt meters and adding questions as to where next.
