Please help car wont start

Today i went to install a manual fan switch...all of the sudden car wont start. There was two green w/ white stripe wires on my drivers side firewall, so i tested the first one...ground into it...turned key...car turns over but wont fire...so im like oh ****...i guess ill try the other one...so i go to ther other green/white wire and ground it...car wont fire...then the car starts for a sec and dies again but the fan turned on...so i knew this was the right wire...Car wouldnt start so i took off all wires...everything should be back to normal...still wont start. I flashed the ecm and got code 54 "Low voltage at fuel pump OR
Low voltage at Fuel pump relay OR
Output failure at quad driver module" but i had this before and car always started fine. Any suggestions??? I need to get it started.

Josh, did you ever find out what was wrong or what that relay was for?

No im still stumped. The reason im stumped is because i didnt cut the wire or anything...all i did was take a little plastic off and ground the wire. I thought maybe grounding the wire blew a fuse or something, but all my fuses are good. Dont know, im about to go look at it again though and see what i can do.

I had the code 54...and every once in a great while ...like maybe twice in the last 4 months, it would die right after i started it up...but then would start again just fine. I just had my fuel pump replaced like 4 months ago. I was thinking maybe since i grounded the wire i blew a fuse...but doesnt look like it. Is the fuel pump fuse in the regular fuse block under the dash? I dont see the fule pump fuse there, and i wonder if i blew that fuse or something. Ugghh....this is annoying.
