    Fuel pump not priming but works on it's own

    Need some electrical advice. 2000 X1 Lightning. Accidentally let the battery die by leaving the parking light on in the garage for a few days. Battery wasn't able to be recovered, so I bought a new battery. Installed it, and now the fuel pump won't prime (ecm throws a 33, fuel pump short to ground). Fuses are fine, ignition relay is fine (tested with a multimeter), and the pump works when I give it 12V power directly, both at the pump contacts and it's connector (gray and brown w/yellow stripe wires if I'm remembering correctly). Bypassed the bank angle sensor to rule that out. Bike still cranks when I thumb the starter button. It seems like a circuit isn't closing somewhere but I have no idea at this point. Rode fine before I killed the original battery. I have access to the service manual, and I plan on bypassing the clutch and sidestand safety switch to rule those out.
    Any thoughts?
