My guess would be you need a 6v circuit not 12v or some kind of relay to cycle it. What kind of pump is it? I used a cheap pump on my old mazda and it did the same thing got hot and quit working i ended up just putting a manual pump on it since i had a few laying around.
used the same ground from the last setup, and have 12 gauge wire for it. i went ahead and ordered a new pump, its 120 psi and 70 gph so im hoping it will work.
i went and bought a multimeter and checked it. with the truck off and just the pump on its pulling around 11.6 volts. and when i turn the truck on and run the pump it jumps up to around 13.6 volts
