There is a black wire from the controller under the relay that is usually under one of the mounting bolts.
Remove which ever bolt it is under and make sure the connection is good.
CAUTION, the battery terminal has battery voltage at all times, the ignition terminal has battery voltage when the key is in run position.
Use care working with metal tools around the relay unless the batteries are unhooked.
Big sparks if you ground it out.

Should be 12lbf-ft, at least that's what it says for my 88 7.3. Remember, Motorcraft Beru ONLY. I don't know about you but I would still test them out of the box just for piece of mind and future reference.

You can still use a test light, it just takes a battery.
Just touch the threaded/hex part to the neg terminal of the battery, test light to positive and the GP terminal.
It might get a little warm though...
-Enjoy
