Default Problem with Racetronix fuel pump harness...

Got the 450 in, turned the key and nothing. No prime. Checked the connector at the assembly and sure enough the power and ground leads were switched. Got that fixed, turned key and it runs only to find out the gas gauge doesn't work. Unplug Racetronix harness. Plug stock back in and sure enough gas gauge works. Any ideas? Anyone encountered this before? If the power and ground were switched makes me wonder what else...Thanks

Found out after a lot of head smashing that the entire harness on the bulkhead side was wired incorrectly. Had to basically repin the whole thing. WTF.

Just drove the truck 5 miles and it died on the highway.

Towed it home, pulled fuel filter and turned key on, can hear the FP priming but there's no fuel output. There's half a tank of gas in there. I'm guessing the hose popped off at the bulkhead connection since I didn't have room to get a clamp in there. I just dont see how though, it's a plastic tube that is very snug over the barb. Stock uses no clamps. So much fail with all this.

Before I go pull out the whole assembly again, can anybody think of any electrical issues (relays, etc) where I'd get the fuel pump priming with KOEO and zero fuel output out the fuel line?
