  • electric waterpump install

    I finally got my electric water pump from my buddies house in the US...I want to install it in the next week or so...does anyone have a wiring diagram of how to install these, or know where I can get one?

    it has a bunch of wires on it, and I have no idea what is what...

    I'd like it to turn on and function with the car, as well as turn on at the flip of a switch...

      I'll have to look for the wire colour tommorrow, there various colours, and what looks like a relay type fuse on it.

      I was trying to check meziers website but I couldnt see anything....I bought this used, so I suppose the guy didnt have the manual...

        scratch that I found a thing on there website, but it doesn't say how I should hook up an extra switch that I can run it from inside the car while the cars off?

        this is the instructions I found... http://www.meziere.com/images/produc...tion/WP140.pdf

        What is the switched source you guys are taping into?

          Re: electric waterpump install

          so there are 6 wires total. Here is a picture of what everything looks like....I don't get which wires go where? Is that block thing a relay? where does that go? or is that an independant relay and I don't have to plug that into anything on the car? which wires go to a switch lol?

          I want to wire this up tomorrow...

                If I had to guess, could I/should I do this...

                connect the blue wire to a "ignition on" power source... then it looks like the black and orange wires are ground wires?

                I am assuming the 2 green wires are the wires I would use to run to a switch? I should run one to a ground and one to one side of my switch? then on the other piece of the switch run a power wire directly to the battery?

                ^ If I do the above, should I be installing another 20 amp fuse on the "power" green line that is running to my switch inside the car?

                  Looks like the water pump has 2 wires, hot and ground. The other wires are for the relay. The relay is a high amp switch so a lot of current doesn't have to flow through your toggle switch.

                      Re: electric waterpump install

                      The black wire off the plug on the water pump is the ground. The blue wire off the water pump is the hot. To see how the relay would be wired look here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...i-LTUBQ00H0vBQ

                      The water pump would replace the fog lights in that example.

                            I stripped the bolt for the alternator, actually I think I stripped the threads in the hole... (the 10mm bolt that goes on the upper right side)...any ideas of how to fix my new found problem?

                            Pump works awesome by the way...

                              Just tap in a bigger bolt say like a 11 or 12. If theres enough material there. Or you can possibly helicoil a new one in.
