Fuel pump relay question.

I ran the codes and came up with an MAF code and a fuel pump relay code. I figure I'd replace the relay first. I removed the relay, cleaned it up a little, and replaced it. The code still showed up. So of to Autozone I went to get one. 10 bucks. Cool. I got to replace the old ome and notice that on the old relay and plug, there are only 4 connectors. Both the relay and the "outlet?" on the wiring harness side have only 4 prongs, but look like they should have 5. Example" - - - o - (the "o" meaning there is no prong there).
The new relay looks like this - - - - -
Now is it that I am missing a **** on the old relay AND the corresponding reciever on the wiring harness where it plugs in, or is it supposed to be like this and aytozone sold me a universal relay for most GM cars? Thank you.

There should only be 4 (5 technically, but 2 are on the same prong/terminal.. FP power and the test wire leading to the ALDL plug in the car) on the harness plug. The relay is probably revised and/or universal

Did this solve any of your probs? I'm about to replace the relay myself.

Did you clear the codes after you cleaned up the relay and plugged it back in?

It cleared the code, but I still have an MAF code to deal with.
