Sounds like you have verified that the pump works. If you have also replaced the relay, the next thing to suspect is that the relay isn't being fed power when you turn on the key. This would imply a problem in the ignition switch. Electrical problems are tough. Even tougher online. If possible, I recommend you take the car to an auto electric specialist.
