Default 88 Ranger fuel pump quit

I just put together a 1988 ford ranger combined several to make one good one. I recentley ran into a problem with my ranger stalling out. It always started fine but sometimes going down the road it will just die. It may set for a few minutes and start right back up. Well today it died once and after a few moments if fired up again, went 4 miles sown the road and it died for good. I checked to see if the pumps came on when you turned the key on and nothing. I can feel the relay clicking under the hood on the pass. side and even replaced it but still nothing. I finally tracked down the hot wire to the pumps and ran a jumper wire to the battery and the pumps kicked on. I am puzzled. I had the same thing happen on my 88 Bronco II and I just ran the hot wire to the fuse box so when you turned the key on the pumps came on. But I would like to know if this has happened to anyone else? Or am I the only one lucky enough to have it happen twice. Does anyone lnow what caused this or how to fix it. I am a pretty good shade tree mechanic but some of this electrical stuff is beyond me. Help!!!!!
