What's going on here?

Changed the fuel pump a while back and all was well for a week or so. Then it decided not to start and I left it for a month or so in disgust.

Had a look the other day and the pump is getting no power (at the fuse box anyway, not actually checked at the pump). When the key goes in I don't get that faint click from which ever box/relay does clicking duties for the EWS. I had a spare antenna and the small interface box which I changed just for the hell of it and it made no difference. The engine turns but not even the faintest attempt to light up.

Any ideas where I go next? :)

Does the antenna ring look like the wires could have come loose? Quite a common problem

Didn't see anything like that Dan. I'll have a closer look tomorrow. Do you mean the wires loose at the box end or at the ring end?
