Question Fuel System Issue

Good Morning, I have a Mule 2510, KAF 620 A4. Had a porcupine get up under the Mule and chewed up a few things. The system is not getting fuel and I noticed the rear housing on the fuel pump was chewed open so I replaced. Still no fuel. There is no power going to the fuel pump. The rodent chewed off a wire going to one of the fuses but I was able to hobble that back together. Can someone tell me which fuse controls the fuel system power. Also it looks as though there is some sort of a relay in the system, it is mounted on the frame behind the fuse mounts. Could this have gone bad? Are there any other items in the fuel elec system that I might focus on? Any assistance on how to approach this problem would be greatly appreciated. Regards, C

Question

I have no Manual to the Mule. Have tried to trace things from the fuel pump leads back to the power. The one lead appears to go directly to a ground on the frame. The other goes to the fuel relay unit, but due to the sheathing around the wire harness I cannot determinewhere else the lead come and goes. C

Question

I have picked up a schematic off the net. Looks pretty straight forward.
30 Amp fuse, relay, fuel pump, Ignitor. The ignitor is the only thing I am a little uncertain about. I have a Lotus Seven sports car and had to replace an ignitor in that once. An ignitor is obviously spark related yet the diagram shows a lead coming off the fuel relay to the ignitor, and I do not understand that.

In times like this a test light and a 6 pack of beer are your friend. I start from my power source and check from there to the part not functioning. Eventually power will stop somewhere and thats where your issue lies. Hope this helps.
