Default Where does the grey fuel pump wire go?

Anyone know if the grey fuel pump wire comes into the cabin (from the fuse box under the hood)? If so where does it come through? pictures?

You really want to mess with the fuel pump
relay control wiring, not the fuel pump
power wires. From what I gather the fuel
pump wiring is kind of marginal and you
don't want to add any resistance. So just
run a wire pair inside to a switch, and put
that in line with the relay coil wire. This
circuit can tolerate the use of smaller wire
and longer runs.

ok, i found a picture of the fuel pump relay.

<img src="http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/fuel_pump_relay.jpg" alt=" - " />

Now which wire do i cut and wire the switch into. Does this relay have 2 sides (4 wires on one side, 4 coming out the opposite side) if so which side does the switch go into. Sorry for all these lame questions but i am unable to just go down and look at it, so i am gathering all the info so i can go down and do everything at once. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I found this switch that seems good for the spot i want. Would this work (rated 25a)?
