I think this should be added here so people can see the troubleshooting that went on. Having this information available will help improve the forums for anyone who may come along with a similar problem.

I checked the really like you said with a multimeter and all of the readings were right except pin one read 0 volts so what does that mean?
Pin 1 goes over to the 7.5 amp GAUGE fuse, through pin 11 on connector '1I' . Pull the fuse out and check for 12V on either of the fuse pins. This will help us narrow the fault down to before or after the fuse.
I'm going to post this reply over in the thread, and lets continue over there. It's important to show people how we arrived at a solution, for future reference. Someone may have a similar problem in the future and placing this back in the forums allows it to be the most useful to future people.

I only had 12v between pin 1(on the relay it's pin 4) but I had 12v between the pin and only one of the slots for the fuse what does that mean?
Not sure if I fuflly understand that sentence so to avoid confusion use the Image below. I have three tests with the multi-meter shown, and how they are hooked up. Tell me if any of the tests do not show 12v, using the green number next to it(1,2, or 3).

test number 2 did not have volts
OK that pin goes through one connector and to the top pin in 7.5amp GAUGE fuse. Next we need to test that connection. Preform a continuity test as shown. You should get good continuity.

there was not continuity between them
Ok we have narrowed the problem down to somewhere along a one wire segment.
I know it's been mentioned but before we go on please recheck that the contact is high enough for the fuse to make contact on that pin.
BryanDyer said:
double checked the..the contact is high enough they are big flush with the plastic right where they are supposed to be so now what?
Next you have to access the back of the fuse panel. It's been awhile since I have taken one out. I believe the are three screws on the bottom. You will also need to disconnect the various wire harnesses going into that block. They all have different shapes so there is no chance of mixing them up. However some can be a bit stubborn coming out so take your time.

ok I take it off and then what? I will have it off tomorrow and message you btw thank you very very much
so after it comes off and I get everything disconnected then...
also I won't be able to work on it til about 5 or 6 tomorrow
No problem, I'm glad to help when I can. That will be about 2pm my time I should be on by then. After you remove the fuse panel we will check the wire from the power relay, to eliminate that as a problem. We will then check the internal circuit on the fuse panel. I suspect that is where the problem lies. But it needs to be tested to be sure.
