What year is your car? Are you trying to plug them into the factory harness and fuel pump? Any pictures?

I can't remember off the top of my head but I believe one plugs to the factory harness and the other plugs into the pump. Have you verified you have the right harness? A picture would help. You could have got the 98 wiring harness.

You should have this harness. I can't find the part number you listed on their site.

From what I've seen they were phasing out the fpwh001 and these were the new ones but doesn't seem to work

The harness installation is no different than the FPWH-001 other than that the module's bulkhead connector is replaced. People make the mistake of assuming the harness interfaces with the connectors located above the diff. This is incorrect. They interface at the module above the tank.

Sounds like you are confusing the plugs that come through the body by the brake lines and differential with the plugs on top of the fuel tank. You need to either drop the tank and install the hotwire or cut a hole in the hatch above the fuel cell and fish the wires up from the bottom or run them inside the car and leave that cutout in the hatch open.
