Default Fuel Pump Ground

Where is it located? I've confirmed that the relay is good. I've put a jumper in and the car will start and run. I have NO ground to the relay at the fuse box. I've checked the ground on the pass side of the block and I've checked the two grounds on the frame rail on the pass side.

If I can get a good ground to the relay at the fuse panel I'll be able to drive my car again!

As I explained in another post, the fuel pump relay ground goes to a splice pack (sp122) under the batter tray. SP122 is in turn grounded at the left lower side of the block at G105 - NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE. The ground at the left lower side of the block is also supposed to be connected to a ground strap on the frame rail under the master cylinder.

OK, I've only got the ground strap attached on the left side of the block which goes from the frame rail under the MC to the side of the block. Looks like I have to crawl under the car and find the second ground wire.

Thanks,
Troy
