Fuel pump live feed connection

Help

I need to get this sorted before I burn the thing to ash. 

Change fuel pump relay and still no joy. 
The fuel pump feed with has come loose from somewhere but cannot locate where. 

If I leave the pump relay in the fuse board and direct feed power to the fuel pump feed then the car and it runs. 

Need some good help on where to connect stuff. If anyone knows what wires to cut and direct wire into the relay then I can do that and bypass the fuse board all together.   IMG_5804.jpeg

John Newman is THE electrical guru. Goes by the name of Rubjonny on here.

The link Mark shared is great - has details of the wiring to the fuse board so you should be able to work it out from there in conjunction with your Haynes diagram.

That said, I'm not sure what the issue is. Do you suspect the relay or the connection to the relay? If you put a jumper between the 2 large relay sockets, does the pump run?
I think there is another relay you can swap out that will run the pump at ignition on to rule out the relay.

To close the thread I put it back to how it was wired by someone.  Not what I wanted to do but unless i get a new loom and board I think i am snookered.
