Figured it out, turns out one of the traces on the fuse box circuit burnt up. Ran a jumper on the board and it fixed the issue. Not sure I trust this for a long term solution so I found a reasonably priced used one.
When standing at the back of the car the top left pin should be a constant ground even with the fuel pump disconnected.
For anyone that needs to be disassemble the fuse box be careful not to break the latches that go over the bottom part of the fusebox mount. While I was holding one of these it cracked off but I will say mine seemed to be a little more brittle and sun faded than others.
Fuse box separation procedure, make sure the box is at least room temperature but the warmer the better:
Remove all the fuses and relays
Remove the bolts and the retainer washers from the backside
Remove the positive terminal by pressing on the tab that holds the lug in place
With a small screwdriver gently slide it between the two halves near the locking tabs, this will space out the larger outer half. I worked around mine a few times
On one of the corners mine already had some play between the halves so I started there and just slowly worked my way around.
Below is the burnt trace, I ran a jumper from R12-86 6 to R1-86 6
