basically take an old light chop the prong end off and put it up
against anything you're testing and if it lights up then obviously
there is power going through those wires. but that doesnt help me for
testing a relay.

No , I'm talking about a 12v lamp and its socket from a junker car with
a couple feet of wire attached to the socket. ( like a reverse light
from a junked car) . Putting a bulb against a wire does nothing except
if that bulb is a neon bulb and the wire is high voltage, like a spark plug
wire.
Do you have a junk yard near you where you can
go in and pull parts from junkers? A golf near your year would be ideal
so you could get a fuel relay , a lamp/socket with wire leads , and both
pump plugs ( the female connector that plugs into the pumps with six
inches of its wire ) . The pump plugs can be used to test your pumps
with your battery charger. It makes it easy and helps to insure you
don't short out things when testing the pumps. Also you can inspect
things like how that accumulator is hooked-up. When I had to remove
the dash cluster from my car to replace dash lights, I went to a junk
yard first and removed a cluster on a junker so when I did it to my car
I didn't break anything.

All this seems rather extreme, but luckily my freind has a multimeter,
and my other freind owns his own scrap yard, so I have access to mk2
parts for dirt cheap. thanks for the help though. When I hooked the
battery charger up to the pump it started leaking out of the
accumulator. The hose seemed a bit loose so I tightened the hose, but
havent tried again. maybe I have the hoses backwards but as one of you
said the filter is hooked up to the middle socket. ALSO should I hear
pump noise when I turn the acc on? Because I only hear it when I try
to turn the car over. It buzzes for about a second after I stop
turning the key.
