Exclamation fuel pump wiring problem

2003 c5 z06

while i was putting the second motor in my car i messed something up and my fuel pump wasn't turning on ( I'm guessing i broke a ground) because i ended up making my own ground right off the fuel pump and everything worked fine ... now I finally just put my new motor in and everything went perfect .. i drove the car to work and back without any issues but once i got home i was clearing codes off the dash (while car was running) and right after i cleared a set of codes the car stalled out and didn't want to fire up .. i ended up putting my own power to the fuel pump and the car starts right up .. so my question is .. where or what did i mess up .. fuse is fine all i did before car shut off was clear codes

Sounds like the power source for the fuel pump is flawed somehow. Did you possibly compromise something else while clearing the codes?

not that i know of .. i didn't really think clearing codes would damage anything .. i work at a dealership and one of the techs said you could do damage if you clear codes while the car is running

As in messing up the ECU in a way that would stop the fuel pump?

What codes did it have? Maybe it had a code dealing with the fuel pump and clearing is messed with the ecm? Ive had similar things like tht happin before. Car usually started back up and ran fine afterwards.
