Friends! Brothers! Secret Lovers! I have some good news and some bad news. Bad news is that the pump didn't prime using a wire from the prime connector to the battery. The good news is I turned down a guy trying to trade a running mustang 2 for my killer cam!

I tested the ground on the fuel pump relay by putting the ground clip from the test light to the black wire in the relay and testing it against the orange wire and it turned on so I know it gets power and has a good ground. I did run a straight wire from the black to orange after that and got sparks!

Now some of the fuses inside by the driver door aren't lighting up when tested but the fuel pump fuse still knights up yet no prime. I know I connected everything with the pump so where should I go next?

Gray wire is power, black is ground.

To clarify, the connector I'm referring to is the plug that you had in your hands back when you replaced the fuel pump.

the grey wire at the fuel pump harness connection above the rear differential on the driver side should be getting power when the prime wire is connected to power.

Haha bulkhead.....who am I kidding I don't get it
Is the bulkhead the connector under the car or the one connected to the top of the fuel pump that doesn't cone off?
