Default Another Racetronics hotwire install question

I was thinking this was going to be a plug and play install. I had the racetronix pump installed by a shop a couple of years ago. Now I'm installing the wiring harness and the conectors don't match up. The instructions say one of the connectors connect to the pump but the pump is in the tank. How does the harness reach the pump. I'm missing something. Here is a link to what I am looking at. Thanks

I hope this wasn't that stupid of a question but I may have figured it out.

I was thinking Racetronics gives you two ways to connect the harness. One directly to the fuel pump and the other through the factory connection but using only one of the factory connections.

I saw in the pump instructions that the fuel level sensor wires have to be connected to the power connector included with the pump.

Is this correct? Thanks

Just hook the Hotwire connecters up to the connecters on top the fuel tank. I did the trapdoor. Then hook up the red wire to the alternator. Easy install

If you look at the pictures the tank has 2 female connectors. One 4 prong that is square and a 3 prong connector that is in a row. The harness has two square 4 prong connectors, one being female and one being male.

If they included a new bulkhead with your harness, use it!

I signed on the racetronix forum and found the answer. This is what I found:
Unplug the factory harness from the module. Plug this male connector into the Racetronix harness. Plug the male Racetronix connector into the module.The 3-terminal connector is for the vapor pressure sensor. This is left plugged into the factory harness.
