You have an open in the wiring from the relay to the EEC Computer, the Computer Plug (pin) or a problem with the Computer.

Your 1996 does not have this test plug.
Yes the relay is for both the front and rear pumps.

No, grounding pin #6 of the test connector and it runs says that the wiring after and before the relay are OK along with the pumps.

Not saying you might not have a bad pump but you need to get the fuel pump relay working right first.
