i did a wiring up grade on my car and these are the steps i took:

went to parts store and picked up 25ft of 10 gauge wire (i've heard some people using 8ga wire), universal relay, 30A inline fuse fitting, t-fittings, and package of misc electrical fittings.

disconnect negative off battery

solder the inline fuse to one end of the 10ga wire, this will be the end that will be hooked to 12+ scource

run the 10ga wire thru thru the engine compartment, thru the wire groment on drivers side firewall.

i already had my interior out, but you will atleast need to pull up the carpet on the drivers side. route the wire under the carpet to the back. i ran mine with the factory wiring under the carpet to keep secure and clean.

find a place you want to mount your relay to, i mounted mine on the bracket that holds fpdm.

the power wire that was ran to the back will be connected to pin 30 on the realy. after you find where you want to mount the relay, cut the power wire to length needed.

pull harness off the fpdm, and cut the tape back off the factory wire harness to expose all the wires to the connector. cut the pink/black trace wire, be sure to leave enough wire to put a connector on!

the pink/black wire that comes off the fpdm connector will need to be lengthed and connected to pin 87 on the relay. the wire that runs in the harness will need to be lengthened and be connected to pin 86.

now this is the part that can get exciting. the tank will need to be lowered enough to get to the wiring on the fuel pump hat.

the extra wire that was was cut off from the power wire will be used to run from the fpdm harness to fuel pump hat. run the wire down to the tank so it will reach the fuel pump hat. i routed the wire down thru the grommet directly below the inertia switch.

locate the brown/pink wire on the fuel pump hat and tap into it with either a t fitting or a quick splice. connect the wire you ran down to the tank to this wire. be sure that the wire is tucked up safely and wont be getting pinched or cut.

you can mount the tank back up and pull the extra length of wire up to get out the slack. connect that wire to the brown/pink wire on the fpdm harness.

pin 85 will need to be grounded with same gauge wire that the power wire is. i used the same ground that the fpdm was using.

zip tie everything up, clean up, and put interior back together.

connect the power wire to the side of the fuse block that the battery + wire goes to. install fuse and hook battery back up.
