Hello

I have a 1987 300E car won't start. I've owned the car since 2001 the fuel pumps may be original.

About 5 years ago the fuel pump relay went bad and I replaced it, around the same time I changed the fuel filter.

Now car won't start. I removed the fuel pump relay and jumpered 30 and 87 with my Fluke meter in Amps setting and see that the fuel pumps are drawing 7 Amps. However I don't hear them buzzing. Its 10pm and I am doing this outside on the street my car is parked at the sidewalk curb infront of my home. Shouldn't I hear the pumps buzzing? I had VW rabbits with CIS in the 80s they had a similar fuel pump and I recall I could hear the pumps buzzing.
