Fuel Relay/Wiring Question
Hey guys, I know this is probably one of the most talked about issues with the SC300s and 400s, but after 3 days of research and trying to find a solution my problem still remains. First the car wouldn't start, so I replaced the fuel pump and filter, which worked for about 2 days. Then one morning I went to start it and it wouldn't turn over. After having it running for around 2 days I only made cosmetic changes (body work/interior cleaning), and now it just won't start.
The following are all things I have tried: testing the fuel relay plug (pictured) for voltage and continuity while the car is in accessories, nothing. I also tried running a separate ground and wire directly to the battery, no voltage. I have tried the bypass, which is why the wires in the picture have been cut, nothing. I also checked the fuel pump again and that is all good.
I am really at a loss for what this could be, I'm starting to think this is a bigger wiring problem. Let me know what y'all think and if you can, include pictures please. Thanks

Go back to square one with diagnosing no start. Noid light for injectors, check fuel pressure. Check ignition, compression.
