No I'm not saying it's still fuel. I'm saying wiring schematic. Dont buy anything yet.
Next thing that you can do without spending money is to check all the connectors. Visual inspection.
Obviously one small connector will kill it.
Disconnect the battery and check all the connectors. Use care so as to not break the lock tabs. Use a magnifying glass and look at each terminal to see if it has been bent, pushed in or over expanded. Some are bade type and some may be barrel and pin type. If they are over expanded and the female hole end looks bigger that others, very carefully tweak them with an eye glass screw driver. Be careful as you dont want to have to find new ones or try to remove them if you mess it up. Some are a real pain.
Yes, it sucks but it does no good to replace any parts if one little connector is bad. All of this is especially true with the more hands that have been in there.
It's not surprising to find something as simple as one connection being bad. I have seen thousands of dollars of parts go in machines when it has one little terminal bent over or pushed back in the plastic connector.
Again, the more fingers in there, the more likely someone messes up.
