If you're commenting on matt's problem, then it can't be the block connector under the rear seat as he say's that he has not got a 12v feed on the Black/Yellow wire situated at the base of the relay under the dashboard.
Until he sorts this problem out, the 12v feed required to run the pump won't even get as far as his feet, let alone as far as the rear seat.
Hopefully, you were refering to Ninja's problem, and if that's the case then I would take it that he has, as he states in a previous post that he has now checked the wiring all the way back to the relay.
The readings he gives us tomorrow should determine where the fault lies.

Connector under rear seat.....
Mate,
Please check this if not already done so. I had the same problem as you, and checking the wiring and relays is not that straight forwards, as the pump only primes / has power for a second or two on ignition on (second click iirc), before power is cut.
IIRC, the rear seat comes off by taking out two 10 or 12mm bolts, and takes seconds to remove - the black plastic connector under the said rear seat is renowned for melting and causing problems. I also went through all this mucking about with multimeters etc, checking relays etc etc, two lifts home on a low-loader as well, before discovering the connector under the seat.
If it aint the connector, then fine - it will take only a few minutes to prove us wrong, but give it a go mate - you have nothing to loose...
Hope you get it sorted soon.
By the way, since when was trying to help someone hijacking a thread?
