Question my car won't start plz help

ok my car is was not getting fuel so i looked at my main relay and appeared to have gotten some water in there and corroded the relay, so i wired it up so that i could bypass the relay, ( putting the wires in the main relay plug ) i got the car to start but it only worked like 3 times, then my car just wouldn't turn over. i just put a new fuel pump, main relay, plugs, wires, distributer, and fuel filters on the car, honestly i think i might of shorted something out but nothing made a spark or pop noise. any suggestions?

Dont no if you have tied this yet but pull your carpet back on the passenger side under the glove box and when you see you ecu there is a a piec of plastic at the top turn your key on and see if that flashes if it flashes more than once theres a promblem some place call auto zone and tell them how many times it flashes and the pauses when the light flashes

might have blown the main fuse for the battery. its located on the right side of your engine bay on the strut tower in that black box along with other fuses and relays.

you sure you hardwired the pump up right meaning to a + that only comes on when you turn the car on cause if you did not then that means your pump would have stay on and burned out i would check your fuelfilter to see when your car is on if the gas is pumping thru

another thing..check you ignition switch..they get old over time and dont get a good connection.if you take the switch apart and sand off the conductors and put some electical greese in it that might work..i have had that happen to a ton of crx's i have had..they all would turn over but fuel pressure was at zero.

thanks for the advise guys, i checked the main fuse that IAN told me about, it was fine. i will check the ignition in the morning (thank you DOHC16CRX) but i had chris tarantino from uti take a look at it and he said 98% sure that when i hard-wired it i blew the fuel pump again, thanks for your help
