If the bulb lights up, you have some semblance of voltage. It works in a pinch and is easy to do. Test the wires like that and trace your issue. It sounds to me like you might have either a bad ground or an inconsistant power source. There isn't any real need to rewire the stocker when you're 2mm away from figuring out what the issue is with the new wiring. Just go backwards, trace your connections, trace your grounds and check your work. If all else fails and your shit is solid, get a new relay.
Or you could go to ace hardware and get a test light for $3.99.
Or you could get a digital multimeter from harbor freight for like $5.99
You have to test it before you go back and rewire the whole thing. Dont lose your temper on it either, its not trying to trick you or anything, you just think it is. Wire the fuel pump to a ground and just straight 12v for a second or 2 just to see if it will pump fuel. you have to find whats wrong before you go to a conclusion.
