Sounds like a good case of "fuel pump gone out". Seen it happen a few times before! I'd do what you can to get off the trail and find a tow home. Relay or pump, still gonna be a ***** if you don't have the right stuff to fix

You got 7 relays in a row under the hood? Fuel is second from the rear I think. The one if front of it is the ASD, but the one infront of THAT is just the AC clutch. Try swapping those two.

Meaning you connected the battery directly to the pump?
