Need fuel pump harness pinout
Anyone have the pinout for the fuel pump harness?
I've searched online, and in the wiring diagram that I have, but can only find wiring diagrams for the fuel pump fuse and relay circuit... nothing for the actual harness pinout.
My car died this week... no fuel pressure. Just got it towed home and popped off the drivers side rear wheel. I had already checked out the fuse and relay in the engine compartment, so my plan was to check the voltage at the pump... then I found the following:
So at least I most likely don't need a fuel pump (the fuel pump connector cleaned up okay, once I removed the part that was stuck in it from the wiring harness). So I just want to know the pinout so I can use a bench top power supply to check that the pump is still functioning.
Also, if anyone knows the part number or know where I can get a replacement harness connector that would be appreciated. I plan to solder and shrink tube the new connector on.

I've narrowed down the pinout:
black = gnd
one of the grays = 12v to pump
If anyone knows where I can get a replacement harness connector it would be greatly appreciated.
edit: confirmed pump is good Just need new harness connector.

Found a replacement connector for ~$20. Here's a link to it if anyone goes through the same issue as me: http://www.autozone.com/electrical-a...2417_992509_0/
My old one was missing the rubber insert... which I guess is how water got in to corrode the contacts.
edit: it's also ACDelco PT2296

Nice job of trouble shooting and good find on the replacement pigtail.

Replaced the connector, but it's still not starting (there is 12V at the connector while the ignition is on, for a short period of time, like it's supposed to). I think the contacts on the pump end aren't making good contact, since there was corrosion in the whole connector. It's impossible to fit sandpaper in there.
Searching on the net I found a couple methods for cleaning the contacts in similar connectors. One guy said he uses a tiny drill bit, and wrap steel wool around the tip like a Q-Tip. Others said to use baking soda.
Anyone have any other tricks for getting in such tight places?

My guess is either the ground on the other connector end (pump) is either corroded and not making contact, or it isn't electrically connected to the pump anymore. When I was testing the pump with a bench power supply, I couldn't get it to go until I moved my ground point from the pump connector ground to the chassis of the pump. I just attributed that to not being able to make a good contact with the pin.
I took the 2nd half of the day off from work to figure it out. Hopefully it just needs to be cleaned better.

Fixed it
I used a tool for removing the pins in computer molex connectors. And packed one end with steel wool. Inserted it over each pin, and then spun it to clean up the contact:
I also used some coke (soda) on it for a bit... not sure if it helped or not, but it's a mild acid and will supposedly clean up oxidation.
