I’ve also heard about people grinding a prong off the relay, but I decided against that. My first attempt at creating the needed wire wasn’t great since I don’t have good wire crimpers. Then I bought a spare fuel pump relay from SpecialTAuto.com and got a jumper with thicker gauge wire, with spade connectors already crimped. It’s meant for the fuel pump relay in case it goes out, but I decided to use it in this application.
