I don't think you could have fried the relay, but it's somewhat 
possible that your relay is bad. You could put a small jumper around 
the relay, which would make the pump run as long as the jumper is in 
place. (Or just hold down your priming button, which does the same 
thing.)

You CAN hear the pump runing when you push that button, can't you?

It's also possible that the FI main power relay isn't working. Make 
SURE it's fixing screw is tight, because there's a necessary ground 
wire also attached under that screw.
