95 460 electrical issue

Hello everybody, just created an account looking for an answer to my problem. I have a 95 ford 460 engine in a RV. Only 35k miles. I drove it a couple miles to a gas station about a year ago and when I went to crank it back up it wouldn't start. After much head scratching we found out the fuel pump wasn't coming on. So we hotwired it and got fuel pressure, but still wouldn't run. After quite a bit more head scratching (and a few 4 letter words) we figured out the injectors didn't have power. Finally ran a hot wire to the injectors and the motor is up and running good again. I can't seem to figure out why they aren't getting power, but have drove it multiple short trips with the hot wire attached (with a 20 amp fuse for safety). I'm thinking of going on a couple hundred mile trip with it soon and am looking for an answer or at least reassurance that the hotwire is ok to use. It hasn't seemed to damage anything and right now it wont run without it.

thanks for any help,

Jason
