So, i think my fuel pump is fried, changed main relay, all fuses are good, dont hear the "whine" when the key is on the on position. I think it may have gotten fried when i was extending the wires for my map sensor to use a map sensor mounted on the throttle body on my skunk2, i was re-wiring it when i lost a wire and it touched the positive terminal of the battery, causing a spark.
Is there any other ideas of things to check first?

Take out your pump, dump it in a bucket of oil, wire it up and turn it on..

With mine, someone did something, and it's grounded to the chassis, theres a wire nut near the housing in the interior, and a wire runs to a bolt for a ground.

this might be a stupid question but if u touched the positive terminal and seen a spark and now ur pump doesnt run did u check the main battery fuse to see if its blown. if u already have disregard and listen to those guys

Ive checked all the fuses, my ecu is fried, ordered a new one, because the led light stays on, and you can see where the solders are broken.
