I have an '88 auto westy, which I have not driven in months (work away from home and holidays...).

- Returned home to dead battery.  Attempted to start with 50amp booster.  Turned over, but wouldn't fire.  Fuel pump did "charge up" to injectors.  Heard funny buzzing clicking sound from (then unknown) power supply and fuel pump relays.

- Put battery on charge overnight.  Battery took charge, but still suspect (5 years old).

- When attempting to start this morning, no fuel pump noise. Searched archives and learned.

- Took apart power supply and fuel pump relays, cleaned them up and checked. Power to solenoid closes contacts and there is continuity across contacts.  Reinserted with covers off and watched. As key goes to on power supply closes, as key goes to start fuel pump relay closes.  Still no pump noise.

- Checked voltage to fuel pump, 10.6v (low, I think...).  Checked current , no draw.

- Hooked up secondary power supply to pump, it works fine. Whew!

- Removed and cleaned grounds, and checked continuity.  OK

- Removed and cleaned AFM contacts.  Thought it was worth a try...

- Changed battery for new. I had to get away for a while...

- Same voltage to pump (10.6v)  Added ground wire direct to battery. No help.

Any ideas?
