Fuel pump runs continuously, PO rewire Options

[rjames]

When removing the gas tank for a sway bar install I noticed that the fuel pump on my '75 had a different colored wire hooked up to it, and a stray wire not going to anything. It has always worked fine, so I ignored it.
Then I learned that the fuel pump is supposed to shut itself off after a few seconds with the key in the 'on' position.

Mine doesn't do that, it just runs continuously. While I do want undo whatever the PO did and wire it correctly, I don't have time to do anything now. My questions is will this hurt anything assuming I actually start the car and don't just leave the ignition in the position without it running?

Thanks-

Hey guys,
could use some help, I have been working my way through fuel system problems on my 74 1.8L 914. I have been able to get the car running by jumping out pin 3 on T4b to ground, but it is the only way to keep the fuel pump running. I suspect it may be the dual relay but I don't see a connection on any of the prints that show a connection between the fuel pump relay coil, pin86 and any thing? my prints show that that connection only goes to t4b pin 3. the only connection that i have on T4b is a yellow wire that connects from T4b pin 2 to the dual relay board. How is the ground for the fuel pump relay supplied? I know that it has to come from the fuel injection controller somehow but I am missing somthing. I just got the car last week and it was not running so just getting it to run was quite a charge!!!! the motor sounds great only 21,000 original miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I did sneek in a short drive today just because I had to, this chain has been a great help in getting me this far so thanks for all who left coments!!!
