Default Fuel pump not running

When I try to start my 2000 Road King Classic with fuel infection, sometimes the fuel pump will prime the engine and it will start immediately and other times I have to keep turning the ignition on and off until the pump engages. I have been told that it may be the fuel pump relay, but where is the relay located at and is there something else I should check?

Thanks

Default RE: Fuel pump not running

you may want to wiggle the connection under the seat that powers the pump, two piece white connector usually left side of tank, you'll see it when you take the seat off. For any tank removal, this connection needs to be unplugged so you can depressurize the fuel lines to remove the tank, if it's loose, it won't work. Relay is under one of the side panels, i think left, i could be wrong, don't have the manual right now.
