Default 1979 911 Fuel pump & now power problem

Had a post about my fuel pump just last month. I changed out the fuel pump and turned the key half way and heard nothing. No noise. Any help would be appreciated. It took some time replacing the new pump. Fuel pump fuse? Am I missing something? I also noticed three small fuses in the rear by the engine that were burnt out and also missing one. Does that have to do with the fuel pump not working or getting power?

The fuel pump doesn't run until either the safety switch on the back of the air flow meter
(the blue plug) is open or the ignition is in the start position. Does your car start?
pins for the relay are suspect too-you can try jumping it there.

I remember that you bought a new Bosch fuel pump. Correct.

My original Bosch lasted 45+ years. I bought a new Bosch pump and it lasted less than a year.

I gave up on Bosch and sent my old pump to Fuel Injection Corp. I haven't had a problem since.

The car cranks but no start. Yes I did replace the fuel pump.
