Power to the fuel pumps...?

I'm cross posting this from the help - as over there no response for 24 hours, maybe someone over 'here' can help.

Vehicle:

2005 Dodge Ram 2500 (Diesel of course)

None of the fuel pumps are getting power - neither are the gauges when the engine is turned to on.

No animal chewings, and tested the fuses and relays and everything seems to be checking out. The socket for the fuel relay (may be worded different slips my mind not looking at it) one hole reads 12 and hte other 6 on the voltage meter - is this correct? My other truck is reading 12 and 12 from both holes but is a gasoline.

Tried to hook up a check engine light scanner - can't read anything not able to connect, "error". Tried the on-off-on-off-on with the ignition and not coming up with any codes there either.

At a real lose and would appreciate any further insight. The truck did sit for 3 weeks without being started as had to leave the country in for an emergency but didn't think this would happen.

Also lightly sprayed ether into the air intake and it tried to start up but choked out immediately.

Both batteries are charged fully.
