Default 2012 ultra limited fuel pump problem

Hey new to the forum thing but was told a lot knowledge is here ..I have a 2012 ultra classic limited an started to have problems starting the bike so I thought it was dead jumped an it started up ride about 20 mins turned it off for a few then it crunk right back up stoped at one more location an it didn’t wanna crank up ..I noticed at this point I didn’t hear the fuel pump come on ..I thought it was my battery at first an slapped a new one it but that wasn’t it ..I checked my fuses but they all seem to be good..I took the relay out but it also didn’t look bad ..then again not really sure how to tell if a relay is bad ...I wiggled lines an pushed all wire connections in and still nothing my last an final thought would be the fuel pump itself.. is there anything I’m missing?? ..thanks in advance

Is the starter turning over. If not it could be your fob battery that is not responding to let the bike start. If the starter is working then fuel pump would be next. Also check the fuse to the fuel pump is good with test light. Fuse might look good but still be blown. Do you have dash lights?

Yea it wants to start but seems no fuel is getting to it ..cause all the lights work I just don’t hear the fuel pump come on when I turn the key over ..I’ll have to get a light tester

Is there another relay in there that you could try swapping?
