fuel relay shorted, car won't start

Hi everyone, long time reader but first time poster here as normally each problem I've had on this car can be fixed by finding a thread from 20 years ago lol.
Im 21 and have had my 1987 Camaro iroc-z for almost 2 years, a 305 TPI auto.
So my issue, the fan blower motor stopped work on the HI setting. I did some trouble shooting and found the red 12V wire from the battery had lost continuity. reconnected it and the fan was blasting on hi again. However while looking for the issue, I disconnected the fuel pump relay (maybe was the ecm relay) and accidentally touched a couple of those wires. car wouldn't start, I've replaced the blown fuel pump fuse that shorted that is next to the battery on the fender and I can hear the fuel pump work again when the key is put in accessory mode but the car won't start now and im at a loss as everything is wired same as I had it a couple days ago when I drove it into the garage. Any ideas would be helpful or if shorting the fuel relay does more than just blow one fuse
