ABSOLUTELY it will hurt the car!!! "Hotwiring" ANYTHING in a computer-controlled vehicle is a serious risk! If the fuel pump circuits are not working, there is a reason for it. You may have possible wiring harness damage causing the initial problem. Hotwiring the circuit could potentially smoke some high-dollar computer equipment or at worst, can burn your entire vehicle to the ground. You could be sending voltage not only to the fuel pump, but also to the place where the wiring harness is possibly damaged. Also, your fuel pump system is not designed to run at all times. The system is designed to turn the fuel pump on for just a couple seconds to "prime" the fuel rails, then shuts the fuel pump off until engine RPM has reached a specified set point. Failure of this safety feature can cause your exhaust to losd-up with fuel and cause an explosion. It is also designed to shut off in the event of any collision that would be bad enough to deploy the air bags - to prevent fuel spraying everywhere in the event of an accident. Hotwiring would defeat this extremely important safety feature. This would not only affect YOU in the event of an accident, but also anyone else that tried to HELP you or possibly anyone in the OTHER vehicle involved. Keep in mind that you are playing with gasoline - AND electrical circuits by doing this. (not a good combination) One ounce of gasoline has approximately the same potential energy as 100 pounds of TNT! I highly recommend getting the problem PROPERLY diagnosed and repaired!
