IC Pump Wiring
Does anyone have any pictures of how they wired the Ford Lightning IC pump to match up with the C32's wiring harness? I know there are instructions on another thread, but just wanted to have a visual when I actually install this in a couple days. Thanks!

Maybe I missed something. What "cap"? The lightening pump comes with a socket that has two small terminals surrounded by a plastic "cup." The whole thing is about 1/2" by 1/4". I don't know what the Benz plug/socket looks like, but I am told that the Benz plug does not fit the Lightning socket.

You'll see the cap on top of the pump. There are a few small screws to remove, and the cap comes right off. As far as the wiring goes, you'll need to cut the wires from the old pump, get two small spade connectors, some 20-guage wire, and rig up your own connection to the new pump. It's actually waaaaaaaaaay easier than it sounds.

I was confusing the cap (which is the liquid inlet-outlet piece) for the electrical side of things. You can't swap out the electrical connectors; instead you need to put the electrical connectors on the ends of the wires currently leading to the pump. I've already got a pump, and I have the whole thing pre-wired and ready to swap in if/when my pump croaks.
