1998 Pace Arrow F53 Fuel Pump Troubleshoot

I'm troubleshooting my M/H fuel pump, It ran fine a month ago and today when I hit the key nothing, I'm not hearing the pump run when I turn on the key so I started looking I checked the fuse and it's good , I can't seem to locate the fuel pump relay , There is about 8 of them under the hood but the owners Manual references them as Relay 1,2,3 etc. Not to sure about that. Also I checked the inertia switch and I'm not getting any voltage across it with the key on. I'm just scratching the surface here and picking some minds, I would appriciate any advice or help, You guys on here have solved many issues for me in the past and for that I thank you guys. The M/H is a 1998 Pace Arrow on a 97 F 53 Chassis.

    You may want to check the owners manual and see what relays are the same. If you have some identical relays, you can try moving them to another location to see if you can locate the defective one.

    The owners manual don't identify the relays at all ,It just refers to them as Relay 1, Relay 2 etc.

    The drawing below is from my '95 F53 shop manual, but I believe it's the same layout as your '97 chassis. The horn relay is the same part as the fuel pump relay, so assuming your horn works, swapping them is a quick way to check the pump relay.
