2012 Polaris RMK 800 Fuel Pump Not Getting Power

I bought this non-running sled from a friend who buys, parts out and sells nothing but this generation of Polaris. He has any part I need which is awesome. Cosmetically it's in great shape with about 2600 miles on it.

I cannot get it to run. If I externally power the fuel pump it will light up for about 1.5 seconds. Also if I use starting fluid it will run as long as I continuously feed fluid. The lights turn on, the dash lights up, I'm getting 14 volts from the DC test plug. Paralleling the fuel pump +/- with volt meter measures nothing when started with primed fuel pump or starting fluid. I need advice.

I've searched many forums, tested chassis relay and checked/cleaned every plug connection I can find.

Any other recommendations?
 
Check the white 4 wire plug that comes off the stator; it commonly melts inside the plug and you lose continuity to the fuel pump.
I’ve had 4 Pros and 2 of the 4 have had this plug melt.
I bet you can’t pull it apart if you tried.
I’ve just cut them out and replaced them with a 4 wire trailer plug.
Exact some symptoms…

Update, I got a replacement wire harness from my buddy and it is all good now. I don't know where the issue was but a different harness fixed it. I'll keep an eye on the stator plug for future reference. Thanks
