Does anyone know if the plug on the existing OE wire harness is compatible with a fuel pump/sender unit?
My sender has failed and I figure if I am going to drop the tank might as well install a unit with a fuel pump - like a CARTER-P76148M.
I realize that the current harness only has 2 wires for the OEM level sender. Was wondering if I can add the 2 additional wires, for the fuel pump power and ground, to the existing plug or do I need a new plug with 4 wires?
The Carter unit is a good Pump!
The two wires can be added to the plug at the tank end and one wire to the connector under the rear seat if you you have the correct wire ends.
Wire can be resourced from most any parts store.
I did this to mine way back before whole wiring harnesses were available like the ones from Sasquatch Parts.
Only one male connector wire is required at the connector under the rear seat as the other one is simply attached to a ground bolt on the body at that location.
You will need two female ends for the connector the plugs into the top of the fuel pump module.
I would get a few spares of both just in case you mess one up; they are cheap!
After I crimped the wires to the ends, I soldered them for extra insurance of a good long term connection.
The correct APEX wire ends both seem to still be available from Mouser.
This is what I used back in 2013:
Wire Terminals: APEX 2.8MM
