Default Electric waterpump question

On hooking up the relay where do you connect the signal wire? I realize this needs to be a terminal in the "on ignition" position. I was thinking the fan relays since one of the wires on it are only hot with the ignition switch in the on position. Any suggestions?

The pink wire(s) in the engine compartment harness that runs along the driver's side. Up towards the front you'll find where the factory spliced them to go to the relays on the side of the radiator. I located my relay near there too and it was an easy hook up. Strick has a good article on the whole installation in tech tips.

Chris and Ransome are correct, it's the pink wire and you can find it on the driver's side engine compartment in the harness running along the fender wall. :thumbs:
