I think your on the right track looking for a bad connection or a bad ground. was the pump replace before or after this problem with the relay started. If it began after the pump was replaced I'd be looking at something that was done during the replacement. If not I'd check wiring from pump to the relay, pay special attention to connectors and areas where a wire may have rubbed into the frame or something like that,
Typically this will blow a fuse not a relay. So like you thought to begin with I'd be checking for grounds loose or broken.
Wiring problems can be very hard to find just be patient and thorough you'll find it I'm sure.

enable's no longer focus on the po452 this code is for the gas tank rigidity sensor, it set for the reason which you have no longer have been given it plugged into the sensor it relatively is interior the tank. ( this won't supply you a no initiate concern) you mentioned the ECM B fuse is nice , now verify for capability on the grey cord ( on the gas pump connector) you like somebody to teach the ignition activate jointly as you verify for capability, the ECM will in basic terms capability the pump for 2 seconds.. then shuts off capability to the pump except it sees ignition reference pulses. if your try easy activates for 2 2nd then is going out, replace the pump . there's a remember for a gas pump harness replace, that your motor vehicle could join, verify with your close by broker, call and supply them your VIN . extra documents ok , enable's see if the relay is being led to. place your finger on correct of the relay and characteristic somebody turn the ignition on, you may sense the relay click. if it does, the the undertaking lies between the relay and the gas pump connector (open cord). if it would not click and the ECM b fuse is nice, then one among 2 issues. #a million verify the floor cord to the engine block in the back of the capability guidance pump.( it relatively is the relay floor) #2 verify sign voltage from the computing device to the relay, with the help of probing the prong the place the relay is going in , one among them could have capability for 2 seconds whilst the ignition is became on.

Motors demand a certain amount of wattage and if you have a bad connector ether in the ground or power (or both) ends of the circuit, the amperage will increase putting more stress on the relay.

In my past experiences I've seen a crimped wire between the bed and frame causing an open to the fuel pump asm. I would start by tracing your wires and checking them
