Default Won't Start

Hello
My name is David and I have some questions regarding the troubleshooting of the electric fuel pump on my 95 Dodge Dakota Sport with TBI and a 3.9LTR engine. Let me begin by what i've done and what the truck is not doing.
The Fuel pump is not coming on for a few seconds like it should when I turn the ignition to on. I replaced it about a month ago after I found the Gas tank all gunked up and full of fouled gas. Like I said the pump was replaced and it began to work but shortly after while I was addresing other issues (Crank Position Sensor) it stoped coming on.
The problem withthe CPS (Crank Position Sensor) is that it is just basically in the gromet since apparently the previous owner got a new short block and not the proper one for this engine and the mounting holes are not on there.

I should probably also say that I traced current on the GR/OR cable from the relay to the pump and also current on the GR/BL from the other relay to the pump. The basic question I have is Where does the Fuel pump gets it's ground from.

I really need some help on this one.

Thank You

The ground for the fuel pump appears to be weird. According to the wiring diagram for my '96, the pump is grounded by two wires: the first one is to the left of the radio, and the other is to the left of the master cylinder (when facing twords the front of the vehicle).
