Forgive me stating the obvious but, after 50 years of experience on these issues, the colour codes of wires are your friend. Even with challenged eyesight now, I reckon I could find your wire among that viper's nest in about 15 seconds. Many here would do so in less than 10. The good news is some great advice you will come to treasure . . . photocopy the wiring codes (electrical guide in Stickys), laminate and stick inside each fuse box cover. You too will become an instant expert!
Hello "cat_as_trophy"...........intersting handle, Cheers. I wrung out the wiring to fuel pump #1.........turns out BT11, was the WHITE connector.. I am presently wiring in an "in-line" fuel pump to see if I can avoid dropping the tank. Going to test hopefully this afternoon................( Will look for said Stickies)
Hahaha . . . handle brings occasional comments!

I like the spirit of your reply, and draw attention also to the great resources, especially wiring diagrams by specific model & year, offered by Gus at <jagrepair.com>.
Chris . . . especially around fuse boxes, and especially if chasing wiring and connector continuity, I find that working from the wiring diagram to id the colour code, to the wiring loom in front of you, is fast and less confusing. You hint at a "long story". Most of us here love a good story (provided it's not too scary!) so do share . . .
Best wishes, and keep us posted,

I’ve been poking around in the “Stickies” looking for the referenced “Electrical” but have come up empty handed. Does anyone ha e a direct link I can click on that would take me to the correct stickie?
