If you wish not finding where the short circuit is-use a toggle switch and go straight to the gray wire on the fuel pump connector from the battery.

Cut the gray wire coming from the front side-and hook up your power to the gray wire to the connector going into the fuel pump.

Get a wire as thick as the gray wire connect it the battery positive post run it thru the firewall position it where you can reach it cut the wire connect it to the toggle switch then take it to the gray wire-
