Not working fuel pump

[nova801428]

I just bought a Ford Ranger a while ago and I am getting really frustrated with it. I am trying to figure out my fuel pump problem and here it is in a list:
1)Fuel pumps don't come on when the ignition is turned on.
2)I can jump the fuel pumps by using a wire and sticking it in the relay connector and they pump fuel to the engine and then the fuel goes back into the tank.
3)4 wires total on the relay connector and 2 wires don't do anything when jumped, what could those wires possibly do? Are these 2 wires keeping the engine from running
4)I replaced both relays and the connector of the fuel pump relay switch.
5)When my ignition is turned on the fuel pump relay does not click.

2 wires are jumping the contacts of the relay to switch on the pump. The other 2 wires are powering the coil to switch the pump on. Your pump isn't going on because there is no power going to the coil. Did you check the fuses, and ground wires? Are you getting a check engine light when you turn on your electrical system? The ECM relay provides power to the computer. If your computer isn't turning on, then your fuel pump won't turn on either.

Do you have to reset the eec when you replace it? I have an extra

Nothing is being reset at this point. The first thing you have to look for is if you have power going to the ECM. If not, then your fuel pump won't work.

That sounds like the same thing mine is doing. Have you check the shut off switch in the passenger side kick panel

#2 in the original post wouldn't be possible if that switch was tripped
