Hopefully this will get you in the right direction. From left pin to right .... Pump ground, Pump positive, Sending unit, Sending unit ground.

If someone butchered your connector, I would grab a meter and verify you have 12V and ground on two of those wires .... you only have about 2 sec during key on to check, and may need to jumper the relay or have a buddy keep turning the key.

I've had to fool with this on both my F150s and reuse the original connector. I can't believe replacement pump assemblies can't come with the correct connector.

This may help some. You should just think of it like rewiring a car stereo. Match up the wires by looking at the locations on the old pump. That's what I did.
