With all due respects, this little adventure took about an hour out of
my evening. Was able to diagnose missing ground within minutes.
Longest part of process was walking to house to retrieve tools (for
some reason forgot sockets & wrench. Must be a genius), then walking
BACK to Food Lion to retrieve truck.

I only felt foolish because I trusted someone else's mod.

There's no telling where PO grounded the pump, and I'm not about to
wedge myself under luggage compartment looking, but can tell you
exactly where I will: at exposed frame right next to tank. #5939 will
never be sold, but if it were, a future owner would have to be blind
to miss that.

Regarding original electrical system: please see pic of melted
headlight switch in #5939's photo album. Car almost burned up on that
one. Original headlight master switch is UNPROTECTED (compare to
hazard switch), yet contains load bearing bulb and attendant ground.
Brilliant.
