Are you wanting to wire voltage or ground circuits? Remember, you have to deal with the fuel gage sending unit circuit or the fuel gage won't work.
The basics, if single wire dedicated circuit, leave a pigtail wire, both ends, as long as the problem is between the pig-tails, run a new wire, splice into pig-tails. The new wire can lay anywhere till you do some testing to see if it's going to work.
I short-handed this post a little. I wasn't sure exactly what you have going on?
Do want a wiring diagram?

Location of fuel pump on 1988 Ford F350 460 engine

there could be 2. one is in the tank,this one is there for sure. the other is in the frame rail ahead of the switching valve,if you have 2 tanks.Otherwise look for a cylinder with fuel lines and 2 wires.the fittings on inline fuel pump might take a special tool,they will look like a bell.that tool can be bought at parts store, should be under $15.

I have no power to the fuel pump , n when i remove the fuelpump relay n use a jumper wire i still have no power at the fuel pump on a 1988 subaru gl wagon 1.8 liter fuel injected

I would suspect that the Fuse has blown, or the wire has been cut? to that supply wire to the pump, try running a lead directly back to the Positive of the battery and see if that works OK? If so locate and replace the fuse, and or fix the broken wire.

1988 ford ranger fuel pumps both come on for 2 seconds and go off.\r\nevery time i turn the key this happens. can i wire the pumps to a hot wire whenever the key is on they will run?

the pumps should run for a couple of seconds then shut off when the regulator determines the fuel pressure is correct. If you wire it, it will probably shorten the life of the regulator since pressure will constantly be applied to the regulator.

I turn the ignition switchand the fuel pumps do not pump up. i checked the ems, relays, enertia switch, fuses. and fuseable links. i can ground pumps at terminal and the pumps will work. there is spark....

Pour some gas down the intake manifold and see if it starts to verify this problem. If it starts you may have a bad fuel pump or possibly a bad ground for the body check all your body grounds. But if you're able to ground out the fuel pump and you hear it run you may have a clogged fuel filter. If you can keep the fuel pump running see if it will start if it starts you may have a wiring problem. Remember that computer controls both the positive in the ground going to the fuel pump. Good luck.

I am not getting fire to the fuel pump on the frame of an 88 ford

the black wire is ground, the pink/blk goes to fuel pump and sending unit.
if you follow the pink/blk wire it will go to the inertia switch, the other wire coming out of inertia switch is orange/lt blue, that wire goes to fuel relay, that's located on right (middle) fender
