Default Bad fuel pump?

I think I have a bad fuel pump because I'm only seeing 12 psi at the fuel rail (used a fuel pressure guage). I've got a '98 6sp so it has the old fuel system with the fuel pressure regulator in the engine compartment rather than at the fuel filter. I have changed the fuel filter as well. In any case the connector which goes to my fuel pump has 4 wires. What should the voltage be on these wires when the key is in the ignition? I just want to make sure it's the fuel pump and not something electrical preventing the fuel pump from running properly.

If you wire the pump directly to the battery it should produce maximum pressure whatever that is and then you can determine if it is bad.

Good idea, which wires do I use in the 4 wire connector for my car? I guess 2 are to power the fuel pump and 2 are for the gas tank sender? Also there are 3 hoses coming from the fuel pump, one is for gas to the engine, one is for returning gas, what is the third one for (just curious)? Thanks.
