check fuses and relays

To test the relay, you can try swapping them, if they are the same. IF not, How to test relay switch - Ford Bronco Zone Forums

"would there b any specific relay or fuse i should start with? we checked the connector to the fan and fuel pump and there is no power at all gettin there"

IF you don't have a diagram of your fuse box then you'll just have to start checking all of the fuses. IT is really simple to do with a test light.

Regarding relays, there are two of particuar interest, your fuel pump relay, and EEC relay. They are usually next to each other are are usually labeled with a hard plastic cover.
