how to jump start the fuel pump

it seems like i have a bad fuel pump/relay somewhere, when i turn the key over it doesnt whirr or anything. i put 5 gallons of gas in it and i disconnected the rubber hoses where they connect to the metal ones at the engine and nothing comes out at all. im just wondering where i can jump the pump at. i found where the wires go into the little metal cover over the tank, the wires are black, red, blue, and black with a wgite stripe. which one should be the one i should supply 12v to?

On the passenger front shock tower, there is a little yellow connector. Sometimes, it falls under the airbox. Use a jumper cable to jump the two terminals. That will cause the fuel pump to run anytime the key is in the ON position. Please don't drive like this as it is a safety hazard should you get in an accident.
