Pump wont power up.

I came back from a trip and my pump wasn't running as it should have been. I noticed the relief valve on my filter had broken off. After fixing the relief valve I have not been able to get the pump to power up. I have a home warranty and the pump is only 3 months old but I'd like to know what it could be

Not much to go on from your description, a fuse, a breaker, possibly the start run capacitor ( a cheap and easy to replace part)
I may not give you the answer you want to hear, but I will give an honest opinion of your situation as you decribe it.

Looks like the relay isn't firing. There's no power to the pump and when I push the button on the Jandy the relay doesnt fire

Sounds more like electrical issue than swimming pool issue.
