7. Water Pump Wiring
A. Cut the supplied wiring harness plug from the end
at the water pump harness. Attach a 16 GA eyelet
to the brown/black wire (negative) and route to a
clean ground free from paint and vehicle under-
coating. A cooler mounting tab works well for this.
B. Route the red wire from the water pump through
the firewall to the fuse panel. Connect to fuse #18
using the supplied fuse tap, fuse and fuse holder
(make sure that the supplied secondary fuse is
spliced into the power wire). Secure the red wire to
the chassis using the provided tie wraps. Connect
the red wire using a solderless connector to the
black wire with a yellow stripe or blue/green wire
(positive) on the wiring harness of the water pump.
C. Fill the water tank with 25% antifreeze and 75%
water to approximately 3” from the top. Do not fill
past the water return fitting (doing so will not allow
system to purge itself of air).
D. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position and
check that the water is flowing through the system.
Once water is flowing, allow to run for approxi-
mately one minute. This will allow any trapped air
to be purged from the system. Once all the air is
removed, fill the tank to one inch below the filler
ring.
NOTE: Do not attach the red wire to the power
until the water tank is full of water, running
the water pump without water will lead to
premature failure and void your warranty.
NOTE: In some cases, the water pump must be
primed on initial start-up. This may be
accomplished by turning on the pump,
removing the RETURN line from the tank
and providing light suction on the hose to
remove the air in the system.
