Default fuel pump wiring help

ok guys, im trying to figure out what my problem is with my fuel pump so i was told to hotwire the fuel pump with a 12v power source and see if the pump turns on. BUT i cant find any diagram that shows what wire in the harness going into the top of the pump is the 12v...im thinking its the black with yellow ribbon but i would like to get a possitive answer before i go running power to it.

any help would be greatly appriciated.

just take the pump out and hook it directly to the battery.

thats in a way what im trying to do, if i hotwire the pump and it works then im going to place an inline fuse and switch off the pump...im about 80% sure i am having a theft system problem and it will be a temporary fix till my motor swap goes in...i cant see spending the money to have nissan fix it if in a few months im wripping everything out

so i just need to know what wire of the 4 or 5 inthe harness is the 12v and the ground

From service manual general info:

B = Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light Green
BR = Brown
OR or O = Orange
P = Pink
PU or V (Violet) = Purple
GY or GR = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green
When the wire color is striped, the base color is given first, followed by the stripe color as shown
below:
Example: L/W = Blue with White Stripe

Be careful with connecting hot wires close to the pump when fuel vapors are present.

thank you so much! yea i am going to connect all the wires at the pump first, then to a switch then to the battery....hopefully would elminate any chance of a spark. hopefully this works, i hate not being able to drive it!
