I forgot to say after I put the new harness on and the car didn't work/run. I put the good old harness on and it still didn't work with original harness. I took the harness off a year ago to re wrap it with black tape and zip ties and it work when I put it on then. so now both harness don't work?

Connect the negative side of your multimeter to the negative post under the hood, its located on the strut tower, and says negative(-) in green i believe. Then remove the fuel pump relay, and test each of the four terminals with the positive side of your meter. Remember that it should only read voltage when key is in the on position. I cant tell you the actual voltage it should read, but if you see voltage thats a start. Im guessing two should be positive and two should be ground, but dont quote me on that. So if the meter reads 0vdc its probably a ground (if key is on).

I believe there is also a fuel pump fuse, not sure the number but check that too. Also verify that you did not put the fuse/relay in the wrong spot, it is very possible to plug it in one pin off.

the fuel pump has a fuse too, its a 15a fuse directly under the relay.
then check all four headlight fuses for power too. If they all have power, then it has to be something between the fuse/relay box to the light/pump itself.

Def is the connectors that plug into under the fuse box. Today i cleaned with connector cleaner and used dielectric greese and the car is running. I am still have a problem with one high beam. So i think connectors just dont want to sit right. Ill probly still take it in but atleast not on a tow truck. Hope i dont hit a pot hole or something. Well damn atleast i know whats up

It must be in there pretty good now. But i was just checking the high beams and get this when you pull the high beam switch back both high beams work. But when i turn on headlight only one high beam comes on. Both fuses get power now. I dont think that headlight harness connector is sitting right.
