Grounded fuel pump wire, help!

I have a kill switch to the white/brown wire and today I accidentally grounded that wire. I checked all the fuses and they were fine, replaced the relay and it still doesnt start up. It turns over but no start. What should I do?!?!?

I would check the wiring at that "kill" switch and the switch itself. Did you have power to the circuit when you grounded it? Did you check the 20 AMP fuse up near the battery and do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key?

Ya it was the stupid fuse at the batery. I did not think about that at all. Than out of nowhere I dawned on me. Crap its the under the hood fuse!!. Anyway, the baby fired right up. Now I am thinking of cutting out the top of sheet metal where the pump is and putting in a holley inline pump.
Anyway, thanks for the help. I am just a little slow when under preassure.
