I started my road trip from Lander, WY to south of the Flaming Gorge area the other day. Things were going great, I was driving my '87 SPG with herding dogs and camping gear as well as many tools because nothing is more respectable than repairing your own breakdown on the side of the road... Anyways, I broke down, smoke in the cabin, and I knew exactly what was heating up. It was the fuel pump relay area, I have already replaced the relay once before and also replaced the fuel pump relay socket along with another new relay (had to separate the fuel pump relay wires from the dual socket shared by the system relay).

After fuggin around for 3 hours in the middle of nowhere I found that running a wire directly from the positive battery terminal to the gray/red wires I could hear the fuel pump running (as expected). The kicker is when I connected my newly run positive wire from the battery to the blue/red wires the results were sparking (lots of sparking) when I tried to close the connection. One or both of those two blue/red wires from the fuel pump relay has a short, correct? Where do these two blue/red wires go after the relay?

Here is the good news... An hour goes by and the ambient temperature cools, I once again connect the blue/red wires to the positive lead I created. No violent sparks. I then connected the gray/red (fuel pump), blue/red (fuel injection), and the new positive wire I created from the battery and the engine starts and I drive/roam around looking for my campsite. Less the 36 hours later the car brought us home in the middle of the night... Where do these two blue/red go wires go after the fuel pump relay!?
