Possible fuel pump relay issue?

[cajunrebel82]

Hey everyone, I have a 2010 ram 1500 5.7. Out off nowhere this morning truck would not start. It turns over but no start. No codes on the code reader. Looking online I'm seeing possibility of fuel pump relay. I have 2 questions.

How do i test this?

If it's bad, what are the options to repair it?

Thanks for any help.

Can you hear any buzzing from the fuel tank area indicating the fuel pump is working?

I would say the FP failing is more common than the relay, but being ~12yrs/old, anything is possible.

No i can not hear the fuel pump when i turn the key on.

Have you tried pounding on the underside of the fuel tank a bit to see if that will jostle the fuel pump back to life?

You have to use cig lighter if you do it so it turns off with key.
