    Label these wires?

    Hey guys,

    Just working through some issues right now and wondering if you might be able to help. Here's pictures of under the rear seat of the fuel pump and level sender wiring, does anyone know what color wire corresponds to 12 v, ground, etc?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Sorry for the cell phone pictures, it's the only camera I have access to at the moment. Let me know if I need to take a different angle or whatever.

    Thanks!

    Lucas

    *Edit: In previewing my post I realized how horrible the pics are, but I'l looking for the pins and the black, three-slot harness to be labelled in particular

    well you can only put it on 2 ways. put it on, if it works it works, if it doesn't switch them around.

      Did you unplug these or what?

          Exactly. Plug them in one way if it doesnt crank over just means the wires are backwards and the pump is not sucking in but instead its blowing :D Very sexually.

                    No no, sorry, I un plugged it, I know how to plug them back in, I was wondering what each individual wire was, so I can see if the pump is seeing any voltage.

                    Thanks!
