Nissan Almera Motiva 2006 - Can't Start Up

Hello,
I have a nissan almera 2006 motiva, sedan and i have parked it for about 2 years,
nevertheless I moove it every 1-2 weeks.

Two months ago it didn't start up and after some searching I changed the fuel pump's relay and everything was ok.

Now it doesn't start up again, relay is ok, fuse is ok but no electricity to fuel pump.

Any ideas?
 
Try a fly lead to the pump to make sure it is working,it is pointing to the pump after what you have tried.
Good luck.

Thanks for the quick response, what do you mean by "fly fled"?
I also tried taking off the fuel pipe from the fuel pump and tried to start the car but it didn't poor even a drop of fuel.
 
Fly lead, = like a raw 12v supply(wire) from the battery,but thinking about it,you should be able to hear the fuel pump when you switch the ignition on,then a relay will click it off when pressure is achieved.
To check the fuel pump is working,make sure the radio and interior fan is switched off,sit inside the car,close the door and listen for the pump to start making a whirring noise when you switch the igition on (do not try to crank it over) after a couple or so seconds you will hear a change in the whirring sound and maybe a click from under the dash,this would suggest the pump is ok.
I personally think the pump has siezed up due to under-use,you could try tapping it gently with a hammer shaft ;)
 
I used a multimeter and it seems that there is no electricity to the fuel pump.
The relay starts when I turn the key on and stops when I turned it off (they make a click each time)
The relays are on the left of the wheel and on the rigth of the interior fuses.
The fuses are ok.

Also there is no noise at all, after turning the key on, besides the clicks of the relays.

I also tried tapping it gently (for now) with a hammer shaft but unfortunately no luck.

Any ideas?
 
Sadly,it could be a few things,trying to find it via the net can be very challenging.
I have seen a faulty ignition switch itself cause what first apeared to be pump failure.
Firstly,i would test/swap out the pump for one that definately works,then i would try the ignition switch as this certainly can cause it
 
After more googling I am having second thoughts if I have checked the correct relay for the fuel pump.
The ones I checked and switched with new ones are 1,2,3,5 and 6
Does anyone know which relay from the photos is the fuel pum's?

FSM can be downloaded from the forums. All you need is in there :)

I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but my first key is off battery and i now use the second one to arm and disarm the alarm and to start up the car.
 
I followed the instructions from fsm

and there was no voltage while the ignition was on neither while engine was cranking,
so checked step 3

and the fuses were ok, but to be sure I replaced them with the spares and also checked harness between fuse and fuel pump relay, there was no visible open or short.

After all these I am trying to figure out
a. Could it be that the keys need to be reprogrammed? But the NAT light goes off while key is On and also while engine is cracking. If there was a problem with both keys shouldn't the light stay on?
b. Is there any chance that the alarm (Sonar 700M2) causes the problem? But if so why does it arm and disarm properly?
