And to think, a little use of tools (your voltmeter, and dental picks) and some troubleshooting did the trick. To those doing their own pump,or messing with the connector on back wall behind rear seat, careful when you plug it back together that you dont bend the female receiver pin. If you do, the pump may shut off from the realy being tripped due to the male-female loose connection.

Rex, you discounting that bottle opener a little bit for me now?
