Connector for IC Pump
I will be replacing the pump this week but was wondering about the connector. The ebay pumps look like you need to go get a connector
I saw this http://www.siliconeintakes.com/produ...oducts_id=1001
Is that the way to go??

either the ford lightning pump or the cm30 will need a electrical connector. i just tore the old pump apart and reused the oem connector

my assumption then is that I would need to cut off the original plug, and then splice the wires onto the plug wires in the pic from the link..seems pretty straight forward and a better option than soldering

Yeah, that's what I did and it worked perfect and was very simple. I use the connector from the Bosch pump and just spliced it to the wires with butt connectors. Easy peezy...

im a little more **** than most! i tore the old pump apart as you can see the original pump connector goes inside the housing. using a solder gun i removed the oem plug and capacitor and wired it to the cm30 with solder and heat shrink tape. this provides a oem connection with a watertite seal and a nice look

Just ordered,, better I think than the ebay once since I would need to get the connector from ford anyway. Total with 2 day shipping was 125 bucks.
Cant wait to install. I have only had the car 2 weeks so I dont know what it is like yet to drive without this hinderence
