Default Fuel Pump doesn't start

I ride an 00 Road glide with 89k miles. As I pulled into the driveway the other night the engine died and would not restart. I have electrical power and the engine cranks freely. When the ignition switch is turned on the fuel pump does not come on (head and instrument lights and radio come on). The fuel pump fuse is good and the fuel pump relay "clicks" when the ignition is turned on. Trouble codes 23 and 32 are present (probably due to lack of fuel pressure to the injectors?). Where is the best place to start looking for loose or shorted wires or corroded connectors?

I would start by checking to see if 12v is getting to the connector on top of the gas tank. Based on my '03 ultra, the connector is a 3 prong connector - 1 for gauge, 1 for pump and one ground. With the fuel gauge working, it sounds as if at least the fuel gauge is getting voltage and the ground is working. A wiring diagram from the service manual or electrical manual would come in handy. If 12v is getting to the tank, then you'll need to test the wiring in the tank.
