Default Fuel Pump Relay

Planning to test injectors Purple pump relay showed no signs of 87 30.
Looked on Ebay and sussed it. Forgetting I was looking at the relay
went down forgot to reverse the diagram.
Bridged 31 and 87 before I twigged what I'd done wrong.
Is this likely to have damaged anything?
Looking at the wiring diagrams 31 seems to go to voltage protection
which means absolutely nothing to me.
Thanks in Advance.

As GVK says thats correct.....31 on the relay is "earth negative"....so no problem you accidently bridge this with 87.. so its 87 Red/black....to 30 Red....Peter

Thanks again Pete, you've steered me in the right Direction so many times (as Si74 before I had to Re Register), you should have your own advice page on here!
Have a nice weekend and thanks again.
