Looks to me as if you are doing just fine! Following each wire from end to end, on both circuits, should help confirm the correct matching.

I don't think you have enough information to figure out what wires need to go where. You need to follow each wire to the source on each wiring diagram and see what function each wire serves, not just which terminal it hooks to on the module.

I'm thinking that the fender modules are different and maybe your issue.
