In your case it looks like the problem will need to be troubleshot because it may be a wiring problem. I see the relays were changed but how about the fuel pump resistor. The second relay is the fuel pump hi-speed relay and the fuel pump resistor works in conjunction with that relay. You can perform a visual inspection by removing the passenger headlight and check the condition of it and the wiring. Also, you could try a bypass procedure.

The wiring diagram the tech is talking about is no mystery and consists of one simple page out of the Grand Prix service manual.
