Shut off while driving, wire hanging that goes to the starter solenoid

Hi Kasekenny1. Thank you so much for your time. I apologize for the delay in response. I've been working on the truck while tending my real job and I just couldn't get back to you. Anyways, yes, it is a fuel injected system. I used the term carburetor loosely. Here's where I'm at with it. It would not start anything because it was not getting fuel. I went through all the fuses. There was one blown for the dome light. I pulled it and left it out for now. I spray carburetor fluid and or dumped gas into the throttle body and it would start great. Nothing I did would invoke the fuel pump even though it was brand new. So, I forced it to start. I ran a wire directly from the starter solenoid (starter solenoid tested fine) constant hot right to the fuel pump wire. I bought a new battery. As soon as I hooked up the new battery, the fuel pump hummed into action and fuel came up the rail as it should to the throttle body. I started the truck and it ran just fine until I got home. I could smell a light odor of something burning, visual inspection showed absolutely nothing under the dash and the fuse panel. I shut it off and it wouldn't start up again. The brand new battery was completely dead! Not only was the battery dead, but it was ruined! It will not jump start and it will not take a charge of any sort. It's ruined. Thinking the alternator is the only component that could harm the battery like this so severely, I took the alternator off and took it in to be tested. The test results came back with: Amp diode: Passed, Regulator: Passed, Rectifier: Passed. SO, I put the alternator back in. Replaced the starter which had badly cracked wires that I replaced. Now I have to go down to the city to get a new battery, but in the mean time I tried jump starting the truck, nothing, completely dead. But I put one of those carry along jump starters on it and the fuel pump kicked in, because I still had it wired, but that carry along jumper cannot turn over an engine of this size. I just thought it was odd that when I hooked up my car to jump start the truck the fuel pump did not turn on, only when I put the carry along jumper on did it activate. This truck has me going in circles. The burning was probably because I forced the fuel pump to run. But I cannot for the life of me figure out what was burning. Maybe my imagination. If the fuel pump started when I wired it directly to the battery that means the ground wire for it is fine, right? But if I connect the fuel relay, and remove the direct battery to fuel pump line I put in the fuel pump will not work. Today I cleaned the fuel relay screws (since it is grounded by the mounting) and the fuel solenoid screws. I don't know what to do next.

I'm sorry that was so lengthy! Here's a summary. If the fuel relay is connected the fuel pump won't work. If I disconnect the fuel relay and run a wire directly from it (attached to the orange always hot wire on fuel relay) the truck starts and runs, but ruined the battery and I could smell an odor of something burning.
