Yep, all the five pin relays are exactly the same. (they should be the same part number even.) You hear a relay click when you first turn the key on, at least some stuff is working as it should...... but, apparently, your 'fuel pump relay' is actually your starter relay. The other once clicking should be the ASD relay. It should click on at key on, remain on for three seconds, then turn off. (unless you crank the motor.) If you aren't hearing a second relay clicking, gonna have to try and figger out which one is the "real" fuel pump relay. Swap it out with another one. (horn relay, or whatever else ya got.)

One little module. I can live with that. It was simple, and it was CHEAP. Not 1200 bucks from the dealer when it failed. And I never had one fail on me.

With more electronics USUALLY means more power and better fuel economy.

True but I'm getting great fuel economy now. Hasn't run in 5 days. LMAO. Plus it's a pickup and 14 years old. Can't expect more than 12 to 15 mph
