Default Not getting fuel

So I have a 1997 cherokee xj that will not run to save my life. So the fuel pump will not turn on so I have replaced the pump and relay and the crank shaft position sensor. It turns over but won't start cause its still not turning the fuel pump. So I took a paper clip stuck it in the fuel relay and the pump turned on and the jeep started but did not stay on without the paper clip. So I'm at a loss...
