Default Fuel pump not priming

I'm trying to jump my main relay with a paper clip but I'm having trouble understanding where to put the paper clip because I'm trying to figure out if i need a new main relay because my fuel pump isn't priming

Something easy to do and I've probably said this quite a few times but, if you have a good camera on your phone or whatever, take a picture of the solder points of the main relay circuit board and zoom in. Looking for any that have a fine dark ring going around the solder of a point. If you see any, re-melt the solder because those are cracks which can cause the problem and doing this saves you from buying another relay.

You would have to take the main relay out and test it by applying power and ground to the respective signal sides and then with a voltmeter check for continuity on the switched sides.
