You simply jump 12v to the connector to see if they fuel pump primes. That will bypass the fuel pump relay if I am not mistaken. However, using a fuel pressure gauge is the real way to test if your fuel system is working normally.

Default Need details on how to connect to the prime connector.

Do I run a wire from the positive battery terminal into the prime connector? Or is there a special place inside the connector to hook into?

Yes that will work. I have done that several times when I have had to drain old gas out of tanks.
