After changing pump and filter with still no start. I checked the relay. I bypassed the relay and the pump started pumping which told me it was the relay so I changed it out with a good one and it still did not work. Is there a second relay maybe or any help in this situation would be great, thank you in advance to all who help

Two of the connectors have power and two don't, I haven't checked the other two for ground yet.
