Intercooler Wire.........

Canada

Ok so I decided I'd start looking at the random wire and connections under the hood of my truck... Being that I'm the 3-5th owner of the vehicle... who knows whats been done.

Well I wanted to know why my IC pump would never turn on... followed it's red positive wire to this:

A purple wire in the main harness right above the brake booster..

Any ideas what the wire is for/conencted to?

The pump works when I jumper it from the battery.

Don't know about the wire, but have is your pump relay hotwired? Is the relay good? Is the fuse behind the alternator good?

Re: Intercooler Wire.........

Are you getting power to the IC pump? I just installed a Johnson pump (my pump was not coming on also...it was bad) and to send power to the pump without the truck running you put a paperclip in the top row, far right 2 terminals of your computer plug under the dash below the steering wheel. With the key on this will send power to the pump motor, then with a tester you can check if you even have power. With a factory chip, your pump does not come on for awhile...until motor get hotter.
