What ever circuit that fusible link protected would be dead if the fusible link is blown.
bad ground, fusible link, short
If you can stretch the fusible link like a rubber band, it is blown.
The fusible link on a Corvair is located next to the starter solenoid. When a fusible link starts to go bad, you will notice intermittent failure of windows, wipers, radio, and central locking.
You splice a new one in. Replacement fusible links are available from your local auto parts store. They come in different sizes.
Get a 12 volt test probe. Ground the clip end to anything steel (grounded) or the negative battery post. Push the probe carefully into the wire on both sides of the fusible link. If the test light only lights on one side of the link, the fusible link is blown or bad.
Check to see if the inertia switch is popped up.Or a bad fusible link in the original hot wire to the pump question? where are the inertia switch and the fusible link located?
check the main fusible link
Try checking for a bad fusible link on wires leading away from the positive battery terminal.
My suggestion is to make sure that you have a good connection between your starter and your battery. Is the starter even functioning? If not, it is probably a bad starter, a bad battery, a bad fusible link for the starter, a blown fuse, or just a bad connection.

Connected to the solenoid. It is the single chord connected to the bottom terminal of the solenoid and is connected to the chord coming from the alternator. A blown fusible link will cause typical bad alternator symptoms and not allow the battery to be charged by the alternator.
What type of vehicle are you working on? You could have a bad dimmer switch, a blown fuse or fusible link, a bad relay, a bad connection in the harness, or a burned up wire. Do both high and low beams not work? Get a manual with a wiring schematic and troubleshoot.
It probably isn't a relay- what you will most probably have is bad battery connections, a bad ground, or bad connections/w fusible link down on the starter.
