When I turn the key on the first pump does not but the second one down line does. The second one buzzes and the first one does not which makes me believe it may be the pumP.

The diodes have nothing to do with it if the relays click. One pump runs, since they are both powered by the same relay you know the relay works, so the problem is in the wiring from the relay to that pump, the connector, or the pump itself.

I have a 5.0gipwtr. I get 12 volts at the plug to the fuel pump but when I put 12 volts on the fuel pump via a battery. I get nothing. Does that mean I need a new fuel

Yes, you need a new pump.

I have two relays that are the same side by side so I asumme that one for each.

One relay is for the fuel pumps, the other is for the ignition and fuel injectors.
