You need to go over every connection and make sure every one of them are snapped in tight and no loose ones exist,there has to be a wire or something loose or not connected, if all wires matched back up you have to assume it has one that is not making a good connection good luck with finding it.

The large one goes to the engine block and the little one goes to the sheetmetal of the right wheelwell. Those little ones often pull loose such that you can't imagine where it came from, it was a 5/16" headed screw into the sheet metal.
There is also a couple of bare naked ground cables that also grounds your transmission with your starter and vehicle frame close to the starter. If these get pulled in two when changing out an engine for example you will get all kinds of odd blinker problems, gauges reading off the chart full and then empty, you will swear the thing is possessed.
You could make your own and add it into the GM grounding system already in place. Bolt the big end to the block, put a screw thru a handy frame hole where ever it lays across one and finish with a smaller self tapping screw right into the fender well right thru the cable.

I am about to have the same problem with my 2002 ZX2. My shop called the Ford dealer and they can replace it for $450.00...
seems like an awful lot for a battery cable.

Fuel shut off switch should be located in the trunk on the same side you fill your tank on. The switch is guarder and you will have to figure out which way to press it

Hi Patrick Fleishman, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? Unfortunately I do not have your wiring diagram, but I would interrogate the pump relay socket with a volt/ohmmeter. First look for terminals in the socket that are hot with the key on and hot with the key off. If your pump turns on with a ground signal, there should be at most one 12volt terminal. The relay is normally turned on by the pcm. When it is turned on, it connects a ground at the relay socket to the negative pump lead. Therefore, you should be able to turn on the pump by grounding that terminal. If you can, you will know that the circuit from the relay to the pump is good. Just be careful not to put a ground to the 12volt terminal in the socket (that's why you have to find that terminal first). Am I making sense?
