Default Cavalier fuel pump

Hey mountainman, there is a small book that came with it. it has a couple different combinations but none look exactly like mine..I watched a couple you tube videos none were consistent some say don't worry about color combination just connect A B C D to A B C D and then some one says just the opposite?? And I really only want to do it once if at all possible!! Maybe I read to much and over loaded my brain which until recently I thought still worked fairly well!!

This should be your existing plug.
(B & C are for pump motor, A & D are for the level sensor)



(from https://charm.li/Chevrolet/2003/Cava...d%20Diagnosis/ )


Which means your vehicle matches this diagram ...
