bronco fuel problems

My bronco sat for two weeks and would'nt start. So I pulled the line att the filter and turned the key. Nothing. So I decided to change the inline pump. Still no working. I friend told me to change the relay swicth. So I got my wife to pick one up for me, but I think its the wrong one. Can someone tell me how I can test and see if it is it and wicht relay. There are two on the air cleaner. Any help would be helpful.

thanx

Before you go and buy some more parts blindly, test the two relays on the air cleaner. If you stab the two large wires(with a volt meter) coming out of the relay while the ignition switch is on you should not read any power if the circuit is good. if the relay is bad you will read voltage because there isnt a complete circuit. My fuel relay had problems awhile back but the relay was good it was the connector that had coroded away over the years. replaced the socket and everything worked fine.
Happy hunting!!

By the way you should pick up a code reader it helps identify many problems a lot faster.

I pulled the two relays off and put the test light to it, only one connector would light up. I'm not sure I no which to big wires you mean. I'm going to go and clean the connectors right now. Thanx for the help. Any other ideas would help. I know nothing about electrical, So any help is good.
