So this last weekend I was putting in a facet duralift electric pump on my 7.3. Most of the write ups said to splice into the FSS for key on power. I pulled the plug but didn't like the idea of it so I spliced into the blue wire on top of the fuel filter housing (fuel heater?). Anyways I went to start it and the pump kicked on but it won't fire. I get fuel comming out or th filter housing pressure release deal where you let out the air, but not to the injectors.. also now I'm not getting any power to the FSS or the plug behind it as well as the plug to the left (sorry not sure what they are called, I will include a picture). I checked all my fuses, they all look good, all my relays in the engine bay are all getting power in and out of them but not those three plugs. ALSO I noticed this morning the WTS light does not come on anymore either. ANY IDEAS ARE WELCOME! this is my daily driver for work so I need it up as soon as I can.

Did you use a relay for the load the electric pump will pull or did you wire it straight off the fuel heater?

I followed instructions someone posted for what prongs go to what on the relay but one of them was backwards so I swapped them around. No sure if that could've caused it, sending power the wrong way. I'm not real keen on electrical stuff

You might have blown a fuse if the relay shorted out while doing all of that. No other reason you should have lost power to the other stuff.

You could try and jump the fss on the ip to get the truck to start to confirm this but if your wts light isn't coming on you might not have glow plugs either.

Could be that you pulled too much or a load and blew a fusible link. I would start tracing the harness back to see where the power goes away

being a 92, yours should have the fuse panel under the hood with the fuse for the pump. if not, over on the pass side near the starter solenoid is fusable links. they look just like wires. give each one a little tug. if it comes apart, you burnt it up. replaced the section of wire with either an inline fuse or another peice of fusable link wire.
