Default Intermittent start issues need help

heres the deal sometimes when I turn the ignition on the fuel pump won't prime and when ever this happens I also get nothing from the starter. Thought it was a issue with the factory alarm so I replaced the tssm with a tsm and didn't have a issue again until today. Had the faring off to replace the radio and noticed when I move the wire harness bundle the fuel pump goes in and out, thought I was on to something so I started unplugging connectors one at a time to try and trace down the harness bundle with issue. I unplugged one of the black connectors with the thicker wires apparently one of the main power feeds because the front lights went out and after I plugged it back in lights came back on but now no matter how much I play with the harness I can't get the pump to kick back on. Not sure what may of happened by disconnecting and reconnecting that one plug but I caused a problem, fuses are good so now I'm wondering is there anyway to test the fuel pump like maybe through the relay and would the fuel pump not working cause the starter to not engage ?
