Default Wiring schematic for sender?

How do I go about wiring the stock sender to read again?

Its all the same bucket, sender, and weatherpack, but I need the sender to work.

Ive looked in some chiltons and hayes and cant seem to figure out where the power/grounds go.

Thanks.

The wires coming out ofthe bucket are as follows,

Purple = sender wire for gauge
Grey wire = fuel pump 12v wire
Black = GND

Yea I got those down Jake, thanks.

But does the sender need a ground? I had the power/ground wired up just like that. A wire from the sender the the purple and then the sender to the ground, both on the weatherpack. I kept blowing the ECM 15amp fuse though..

The fuse your blowing has nothing to do with the fuel pump or sending unit. The sending unit power comes from the "gauges" fuse and although the pump is triggered by the PCM, it gets it power from the "fuel pump" fuse.

I disagree with that.

After wiring the pump incorrectly it was blowing that ECM fuse, I unplugged the weatherpack for the pump, the fuse is fine.

Here is a picture of how its wired:
