I didn't know for sure the pump was bad, that is why I wanted to know where
the relay was... A test to see if it was working correctly or not, and to
be able to test for voltage to see if it was getting to the pump circuit.
Only then, after voltage verification, did I attempt the 'bang on the tank'
test as a last resort... Thankfully it worked, and also verified that the
pump was in fact the problem.
