When you speak of the numbers on the relay, is it the brown wire you are connecting to the purple/white? That never fails to run my pump. (I have that same pump) Your jumper wire should be 12 ga so as not to reduce voltage to the pump.
    It's hiding somewhere, I haven't been able to find it. I will ask DMCMW and see if that's part of what they do when they install that pump.

    It would seem you disturbed the problem when you switched the parts. Most likely a bad connection somewhere. Make sure all of the connectors in the plugs are fully seated, not overheated and still have some spring in them so they grip their mates.

    Yep.

    There was nothing in the install kits or instructions I got, so I doubt they would do anything there unless they saw a problem.

    I'm with David on checking connections and chasing the return line from the FD back.
