I believe I have read all of the threads involving fuel level wires and I have the wiring sorted out for the fuel level on the Passenger side. Fuel level is yellow with black stripe (mine seems to be just plain yellow) and small black wire is mapped to the black fuel level wire. I am not sure what wires go to what on the driver's side sending unit? I know there are four wires but I am only interested in the wires that are red and black in the tank and how they are mapped back to the wires on the plug.I have a converted spyder so I have to cut out the floor to see the other sending units wire colors, so any help would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the driver side plug, even though it's not in use due to me using the full blown pump hanger. The red and black fuel level wires are mapped to the small gauge red and black wires coming out of the pump housing. Other picture is the wires coming form the other side. Based on other threads, I think the yellow wire coming from the other sending unit is mapped to the black wire in the sending unit and the yellow with black stipe is mapped to the red. Also based on the pictures of my spare secondary fuel sending unit it looks like the red and black wires are mapped to one side. (confirmed with multimeter, Black wire goes to top pin on the right and red is bottom pin on the right) Does anyone have a picture of the secondary fuel sending unit plug?

Background: I am installing a Haltech Elite with an IC7 dash and want to be able to monitor the fuel level on the dash. Since it's not the factory dash, I have no use for the idiot light, I just need the fuel level.

Figured I'd make a drawing to make it easy. I used a multimeter to confirm these connections were correct and when connected in this manner, the OHM readings match factory numbers. My tank is empty and it is reading 108. There are more connectors these wires go through on the way to the gauge but I will be running new cables since I'm running an aftermarket gauge cluster. Also want to give credit to this thread because it was very helpful. https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-awd-fuel-tank-wiring.542675/
