      This the gauges are going crazy and relays are clicking With the key out. If I put the key in and turn it, the noise stops. Car will crank. But there is no fuel to the fuel rail. The fuel pump won’t turn on. This all started with what I thought was a bad alternator, it killed the battery. So I charged the battery because I just need to get the car home, it’s stuck at work and they are unhappy about it being left on the property. I really have trouble believing the alternator and the fuel pump went bad at the same time. Why would power be going to the relays with the key out?

      Did the charging light come on? If not, there's no reason to think the alt is bad.

      In any case, you need to diagnose this with an electrical tool (mulit meter, etc). Anything else is just guesswork and throwing darts.
