I just noticed that the fuse panel has embossed numbers behind each fuse, starting at 1 at the back and going towards the front, but you seem to be counting from the front? Has mine been installed upside-down?

I would opt for keeping the wiring original also, but what I have here clearly is not factory - things have been stuffed with before i got the car. I'd love to keep it as simple and close to the original diagrams as possible, but I haven't found a black-and-white solution yet.

Finding a terminal that is powered only when the ignition is in "run" and "start" should fix that problem as well.
Yes, the terminal next to the one the fuel pump wire is connected (red-black) behaves like we want (On and Start), but the fuel pump draws 6 amps so it would be unwise to power the pump from that terminal.

I think a relay will be necessary, and the signal wire will come from the terminal where the red-black wire is connected.

Thanks for all the assistance so far guys!
