Well, that's a problem. It should be in the 4-5A range w/ FP1 pulled (ignition switch in OFF position). So, "ringing out" the circuit and ultimately the fuel pump to find the problem is next. It could be a bad relay or even a connector (ask Jim Voter about his experience w/ pump connectors!).

Present company excepted; BUT! For all that say chit like "It can't be "this or that (part)", because I replace it", especially when dealing with foreign-made parts, one has to VERIFY the replacement part is working. NEVER ASSUME! Just b/c it is "new", doesn't mean it works, OR that it won't fail shortly after it is installed. (Statisticians call it "infant mortality"; the period when a device is most likely to fail is when it is first installed!) Example: One of my new pumps failed right out of the box! Just sayin.....

Anywayz... sounds like you're on the right path.
