Unhappy Fuel Pump Wiring Problems

I still have a stock pump/system. Today I was driving along and the car died. After some investigating, I discovered that my fuel pump is not receiving power. I ended up hard wiring it to my battery to get home and it worked without any hiccups.

Once I got home, I checked out the relay located in the fuse box next to the diagnostic port. It checked out fine. But there is no power getting to the relay, not the "switch" power, but the power that goes to the fuel pump. I will probably end up ripping out the box and try to trace it back from there. Does anyone know where the wires go from there?

Has anyone ever had anything like this happend before?

Uh, Yeah, but you might want to investigate why that fuse blew... in my experience a blown fuel pump fuse points to 1 Shitty (Cheap) gas, or dirty Gas and therefore a clogged fuel filter which causes the pump to draw more amps to push through that sludge... change the fuel filter and call me in the morning
