Default cosworth relay keeps click and wont run!

ive got a 2wd cosworth in a mk2 escort, been running fine, drove it out the garage, left for a few hours when come to move it, ignition on clicking relay (its a ryan type loom) took the fuse out of the relay and the pump runs constantly. Changed the relay still the same.

Any help needed ASAP
cheers

The pump has another power source or you are looking at the wrong relay/fuse, whatever one is clicking is either a bad relay, or is not getting enough power to it.
