There are three wires on the fuel pump support assembly:

Purple - Level sensor. Single spade connector goes to the sensor

Gray - 12V to fuel pump

Black - as always, the ground for the level sensor and the pump.

The gray and black wires are combined into a 2-pin black connector. That attaches to the fuel pump.

The black wire has a spade connector crimped on to the middle. That goes to the level sensor.

Those colors correspond to the colors on the harness connector over the rear axle:

There is no danger with wires in the fuel tank.

You can test the wiring to the pump, bypassing the VATS and PCM interlocks, and the fuel pump relay, by applying 12V to the fuel pump prime connector next to the PCM:

okay i see where the wires go the black and grey i will half to secure togather they are not going back the way they came apart but the purple wire is an inch too short of going back on the level sencer no matter what way i move it.could i strip the end and extend it with a new spade on the end ?? i know that is where the thing came from but just isnt going back the same.also their is a hose that is comeing off the pump its self with no where to go is that the pick up for the fuel??This kind of work juist isnt my Fourte'a.....hey thanks so much.

What parts did you get that are new? If you are just trying to put a new fuel pump in the stock fuel pump support assembly, why would the level sensor even have to be unplugged, and why would the black and gray wires not still be connected to the little black plug that attaches to the pump? And make sure you understand - the black and gray wires do not connect to each other. They both attach to seaparate pins in the plug for the pump.

I have a spare support assembly sitting next to me as I type this, and I can't understand why you are having a problem with the wires.
