Working from memory--so could be wrong--but even the new SUs with the 0-ring
still use fiber washers next to the banjo bolt head. Did you replace these?
If not, try new--they "crush" to form a seal and usually aren't reusable (maybe
in a pinch). Tighten pretty tight, but remember the pump housing is aluminum
and can be cross-threaded or cracked by the steel banjo bolt. Re-tighten after
a few hours of operation. Also make sure you didn't munge the o-rings.
You measured 12V because there's 12V potential, but the harness wire was
limiting current (in effect, acting like a resistor).
