Ford Repair: ford fuel relay, wire jumper, copper coil

Question
while driving the other day my 91 ford shortbed f-150 shut off.It is a 302-5.0. I noticed that the fuel pump was not working. I was lucky when a mechanic came by, we look under the hood and found the fuel relay had came apart and the copper coil and contact had a black spot on it, he said it had grounded out. He took his tester and located two wires on the relay plug and made a wire jumper and inserted it into the red wire over to the green wire, I turned the key and the fuel pump started to work. Idrove to the advance store and purchased a new relay, it would not start the pump.I reinstalled the wire and drove home.   what do you thing the problem is?

Answer
could be the advance relay we run into that quite frequently-but if not check the yellow wire going to the relay connector it should have voltage at all times and the red wire should have voltage with key on the yellow wire is a fusible link follow it back from the connector and see if it is blown, tug on it gently and see if it pulls apart or stretches if it is ok check the red wire it comes from the power relay splice so it should be ok-light blue and orange hash wire should be a ground.If the yellow wire is blown you can put a fusible link back in the harness.
