Need a Spot
'87 F250 300 I6
Long story short:
Truck was stored for about 6 months. Started, drove a few miles, put in new gas, ran great! Stoped and shut it down, tried to restart, battery was dead (not holding a charge, alternator is charging). Gave it a boost, cranked and cranked, no start. Neither the front or rear fuel pump is running when the ignition is turned on. Towed it home.

Here's what I have found:
The fuel selector switch appears to be ok (continuity test between different terminals)
The inertia switch is good.
There is no power getting to the inertia switch
There is only power to one terminal in the selector switch plug (about 8 volts)
I pulled and checked all the fuses under the dash.
A relay under the hood is coming on with the ignition, but I can't say if it is the fuel pump relay.
I pulled off the fuel line at the fuel filter, turned on the ignition and got no fuel.

Obviously, power is not getting to the fuel pump. Where is the best place to start?

If the battery voltage is now 12.5v because you replaced the battery.....right? and are getting 8v at the plug means you have a bad connection probably due to corrosion from sitting. Continue to check the voltage upstreanm till it matches closly the battery voltage then you will have found the point of the bad connection.
