Default Starting problems... Fuel pump?

OK, my car still won't start. I replaced the fuel pump relay, and whenever I try to start, it still just blows fuse #13. I think it is one of two things: Could it have been the wrong relay type? I took the cover off my old one, and didn't look exactly the same as the "new" (used) one (but still had the correct prongs).
The other thing is it just the fuel pump itself is bad.
What do you think?

Kinda sucks because my taurus has a bad radiator, and the audi doesn't even run!

Try testing the fuel pump by itself. You know, hit it with some juice to see if it pumps!

Default I had that problem

I would blow #13, so I changed relays (mines different too) that still didnt fix it, so I bought a used fuel pump from Force5. That did the job. My old one would spin, but the bearings or something were worn, and it was still overloading the fuse. So yeah, I would try a diff. pump.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's must be the pump. Now that I think about it, there was some minor fuel delivery problems before.

Thanks for the help.
