Help me figure out why truck won't start...Please

Changed my batteries and while I had the dielectic grease out decided to apply some to all the connectors for the FASS and Edge. Well now the fuel pump won't cycle and the relay has a steady tapping sound. Truck will not start either.

I diconnected the relay and used a test light to determine that the red wire from the FASS wiring that goes to the female connector for the old fuel pump has a flickering signal. I put a jumper on the relay connector to see if the relay was bad and now the truck will start but because the relay is diconnected the FASS pump has no power and the truck starves for fuel. I put a jumper in the connector for the pump and it will run.

I am not sure if that signal coming from the power supply for the old pump is supposed to flickering like that or not. My guess is no but don't know where to go from here. I don't think changing the relay is going to fix this problem but maybe I am wrong.

Any ideas?????
