Moved your question to a more suitable forum than "Article Submission".
Need more details. What two other harnesses tested for ground? How did you test for ground? The vehicle's system is negative ground. Are you testing the relay with the ignition on when you think the relay should be activated? Have you eliminated the fuse yet as the problem? Did you download the schematics and manuals using the instructions in the thread http://gmtnation.com/f23/need-service-manuals-get-them-here-371/

the black cord didnt test for ground and the gray power cord didnt either now im trying to figure out do I have to replace my whole wiring or anuther fuse outside my relay bcuz my fuel pump wiring arent giving any reads anu suggestions I tested with a curcuit tester
You need a voltmeter to troubleshoot this properly. If I understand you, a circuit tester is one of those little things that light up when you connect it to a powered circuit. That isn't able to test grounds properly.Jjoh2 said:
Replacing the "whole wiring" is a nutty thing to suggest when you haven't troubleshot the circuit using the right tools.
Have you changed the fuel pump relay #41?
Have you changed, tested, or inspected underhood fuse #10?
Those two items are necessary to put power on the gray wire at the fuel pump.
If you are using a proper meter to test for ground at the black wire, then you have a problem with ground lug G305 or the wiring from the fuel pump to the lug. Look here: Location of electrical grounds - Chevy TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer SS and GMC Envoy Forum
Yu right abt the curcuit tester im goin to buy a voltmeter I only used the curcui t tester cuz I seen my03Lt youtube video...as far as the fuel relay goes I tried that and it didnt..work fuse #10pcmb I swaped with #7 idk if swapping them will work so how much is a voltmeter??
I see my neg ground bolt on the frame but idk where my pos ground is should I post pictures of my harness hookup so I can get Better help??

$4-5 at Harbor Freight. But understanding how to use it is priceless.Jjoh2 said:
It's scary that you ask that question.Jjoh2 said:
There is no positive ground. What specifically makes you think you need one?
You need a local friend to show you how to use the meter. In general, members here assume you know how to use a meter and do basic electrical troubleshooting if you're trying to do what you're trying to do (and compose sentences...and spell without phone shorthand...but I digress....) Is it not possible to get an experienced auto electrical person to look at the connector and teach you?
