Fuel pump relay circuit open - Help

Hi guys,

I've got a Mk1 LCR which completely lost all power and wouldn't start a few months ago. I'd then changed the Fuel Pump Relay (409) and it started and has been starting perfectly fine until then.

I've got a remap for Stage 2 booked in with Badger5 in a week or so's time and figured I'd give it another scan just to make sure it was running sweet. Unfortunately I've got this fault code "17949 - Fuel Pump Relay (J17) - P1541 - 35-00 - Open Circuit". This is making me consider cancelling / delaying my remap session until I can resolve this.

At first I thought maybe the relay I had put in was faulty - but when I then changed it to another I ordered the fault remained. I then put the Original relay back in and the car fired up straight away. I think I have a wiring fault - would anybody have any idea as to where to look or what it could be?

Many thanks
