When the key is on, you should have two power sources to the relay......one to power the relay itself and one is power that passes thru the relay to the pump. Sounds like you are missing the switched power. Is there as fuse somewhere?

not that i can find, ill tell you exactly what happend freeze plug rotted out car overheated shut it off running fine now it wont start ive checked all the fuses under the dash didnt see any that were blown is there any other you know of?

Definitely check the fuses. A visual inspection is only a basic check. A proper test is done with a multi-meter or fuse tester. Most fuse kits come with a fuse tester.

I'm not sure that the relay will click if the circuit is broken somewhere (e.g. the fuel pump is disconnected). Have you checked if the fuel pump is getting power? If its not, then start walking up the wires to find the brake. Good luck...

Try grounding the relay directly to the neg side of the battery with a jumper wire. If the relay works with the jumper wire, then you know the ground is bad.
