did you turn the key to the run position and then back to off (without starting the car), then repeat a few times to build pressure back into the system?

if so, did you hear the pump cycle up?

and if you removed the relay, did you put it back in place correctly?...it's very easy to put it in upside down. edit...maybe it's not upside down, but off by one row... I can't remember it's been a while, but I made this mistake myself.

Don't feel bad ....I did the same exact thing. The guys at the dealership laughed and said it happens to them too. It's so easy to be off by one row lol.

I did the same thing, my fuse was off by a row. I know what you mean, there are metal clips that the fuse can go in, you can put the fuse in correctly, or you can put it in on either side. It took us 30 minutes to figure it out!! lol
