Sitting in the X5 right now, after topping up the battery. Engine cranks strong, no start.

I pushed in the Schrader valve, before charging, and there was no pressure at all, as I expected, since the engine had obviously run out of gas (now that I had time to think about it).

Perfectly quiet inside, no sounds outside, so I should have been able to hear the pump relay click on. The fuel pump, of course would need the relay to trigger it, so next thing is to pull the glovebox, and replace the relay. Unless there's a master fuse somewhere.

I have a Chinesium power probe substitute that I might be able to power up the pump itself, bypassing the relay. Never used it, so I'm afraid I might short out something.

I'm going back inside, and ill examine wiring, fuses, and relays.
