What are you guys wiring them to so it comes on with ignition?

I have heard about running it off the airpump realy or something? I have never wired one to anything other than a switch.....But this is more of a street car, and I don't want anyone to forget to cut it on

 

Check this picture out and you'll see where I have it wired to - no issues!

I used a piggyback connector.

 

CSR told me to ground to the same location as the battery. Said some F-bods have been known to have EWP's go out for some reason and the solution they said was to have a better ground.

 

Use the fan relay circuit as a trigger. That way you can run your EWP in
ACC while you're cooling down at the track (or otherwise).

You could use the air pump circuit if you wanted to, this just seemed easier to be
since someone had already documented it with pretty pictures LOL

 

nice write up on the pump install.

 

Mine is wired in to the fuse box under the hood... but I do not remember where, lol. It was wired on to the bottom of the fuse pannel, I'll go out later and look as to where exactly I wired it. But it's been there for something like 7 or 8 years and still good.

 

I don't remember if that's where mine is wired in to or not, but my pump turns on in ACC too.

 

I use the a wire under the fuse box that comes on when the ignition is activated-that in turn powers up to relays I wired up to power the WP Its been like that for 3 years now with flawless performance, you can also just turn the key forward to turn the Ignition on and it powers up the water pump so it can run with the Engine off...I wouldnt recomend it though as it could run your battery pretty quick

 

What's important is the circuit's amp rating. If you choose one that
is too low, you'll blow the fuse or, worse, the pump wont run.

 

Yes I know this... like I said mine has been on the car for about 8 years now so I am pretty sure that I did a pretty good install, lol.

 

I used to pretty good size relays working together to supply power to the WP.......Just in case

 

I ended up using the fan relay as my ingnition trigger, wire a seperate relay with a 15 amp fuse in line. Soldered everything and heat shrink, works great
