This is the fuel pump circuit diagram for my '86. I think it's probably pretty close to an '85. From the diagram you can see that if the fuel pump is running then the problem has to be in the wire that goes between the splice at pin L of C237 and ECM pin B2 (pin numbers are probably different on the ECM since they used a different ECM in 1985):
