Either you have a short between the fuel pump relay, a bad pump (drawing too many amps) or the cut off switch is shorted.
How did you check the pump?

They have checked the wiring and found a short under the rear corner pannel and clipper the wire for the hot feed and we have no Idea what that went to but what ever it was seems to have fixed the problem. Now I just have a hot wire that has been capped off and taped up so it doesn't make ground contact. Now what any sugestions.
