Default Re: Jumper to avoid being stranded with a failed Primary Fuel Pump

Exactly which wires are switched?
We have green, white, red, black wires from bottom to top on each side of the connector.
Green (on right) now goes (in your jumper connector) to what color (on left) and so on? I assume only two wires are switched....which two?
There are four wires in the connector:

Black - DC ground
Purple - Fuel level sensor signal to the fuel gauge display
Gray - 12 vdc to a fuel pump
Lt Green (or Green/White) - 12 vdc to the other fuel pump

My short jumper is just a cross-over jumper, as Cliff said. By switching (crossing) the gray and green wires, the 12 vdc from the Primary Fuel Pump is routed to the Secondary Fuel Pump.

The part number for the connector on the harness (car side) is:

Connector, elec, Fuel Pump, Male GM 12085534 (AC Delco PT145)

Here is the part on Amazon:

I haven't verified by ordering the connector for the pump side of the connection. I got the connector I used from a take-out fuel pump assembly from WAZOO donated parts. I THINK (but haven't verified) that GM 88861069 is the female connector, but I can't find a source with a picture.
