burning relays?

yeah, my car keeps burning my fuel pump relay.. i had rigged it up to another relay so it was getting power directly but decided to do it legit.. i put a new relay and the car worked awesome while i drove to school and back but today when i go to try to turn it on, you hear nothing when you turn the key (no fuel pump sound), also the check engine light doesnt go on as it would normally go on when you turn the key. all the other lights (security, and airbag) go on except the check engine light which would only give me a code 12 obviously. I know the only solution to get my car to start again is to change the relay again so i can drive it to a shop.. but do I more than likely have a short? I am getting pretty sick of getting shorts with this car.. I even think about getting another wiring harness.. wth should i do..
