Frayed Wiring Harness - Driver rear wheel well

I was getting my car ready for what could be my last track weekend with the car. I am running 345 / 19 proxes in the rear for the first time so I decided to relocate the wiring harness just in case. I never had any rubbing issues with the 3R's or my 18" track wheel but figured better safe than sorry.

I am embarassed to say that I screwed up the relocation process. I didn't check my work, I actually moved the wiring harness in harms way. I apparently placed the wiring harness were is was rubbing the side of the inner tire shoulder. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Drove the car to get a full tank of 100 Octane and filled up a couple of containers ready to hit the track this weekend. On the drive home, bam, car sputtered like it ran out of gas. As I pushed the car into a parking lot, my first thought was that I must have screwed up the harness.

After inpection, my fears confirmed - dumb, dumb, dumb.

Two wires are frayed, both appear to be black with a green stripe. I fixed harness, spliced one back with a connetctor and retaped the other as it was just the jacket that was damaged.

I checked the fuses, nothing blew. But car still not starting. I have a JMS fuel pump boosted, the green light is on - thoughht I may have fried the booster so bypassed it, still no luck. No power supplied to the fuel pump.

Anyone have any ideas on what I should check? Is there a reset procedure that I should be doing or another set of fuses to inspect?

Any advise from the platform experts out there appreciated.

Sincerely;
Dumb ZLE owner!
