Default Fuel pump relay help needed, please!!

The fuel pump on my 2000 will not activate. I have checked the fuse. I have checked the relay.

If I jumper at the relay, the fuel pump will run.

I have tested as follows:

30 = to pump
87 = No reading key off, 12V key on
86 = No reading key off, 12V key on
85 = Ground reading key off, 12V key on.

85 or 86 would need to be a ground with key on for te relay to activate, correct??

I have not been able to find a schemtic to see where 87, 86, and 85 come from.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Thanks so much Mike. It was G105. I took off the header to have a wide O2 put in when I started the project. I removed G105, but thought there was only one wire there not two.

Thanks Again!!

Oh, I believe you and pray that I find that ring connector hanging loose and you have supplied the solution to my problem. I didn't take that left header off myself, but I reconnected everything, that I knew of, putting it back together. I don't know how I could have missed that wire if it was hanging there, but you can bet I'll be looking for it as soon as I get it back on the lift. Do you happen to know where Splice Pack 122 is located?
I don't know if you saw my message reporting that I checked for codes last night and it was clear. No codes.
Thanks again for pointing this out to me.

Yep, SP122 is located underneath the battery tray. See post #13 in the link below:

Sorry, Diag. I got caught up in a Private Message string with Lucky13 that has me headed down, what looks to be, a very promising path. You guys are awesome! Even though I haven't been able to pursue that rabbit yet, I'm pretty sure that you've put me on the right path. I also had the Low Oil Level show up in the DIC previously. I saw that mentioned in one of the links above. At the very least, I've got some great knowledge to share with my Corvette Buddies that will make me look good. LOL!
I'll update once I get back under my Vette.
