Am I an idiot or a genius?

A customer has an 84 Fiero brought over on a tow truck.

The fuel pump will only run for about 1 second, even with the oil pressure switch jumped.
but if you cut the power to the pump, and then reapply it, the pump will run again for about 1 second.

I can only speculate that the armature in the pump is getting sideways a little and locking up.
and once the magnetic field is removed, then it centers up again.

so it's got 3/4 of a tank and needs a new fuel pump.

the car gods must have been smiling on me, cause in less than 30 seconds I came up with the idea of wiring in a hazard flasher into the oil pressure pigtail.
The tank was empty in about 20 minutes.

keep this in mind if you run across the same problem.
