Default Quick EWP install ?????

I'm using the painless EWP realy kit from summit and do not want to use the air pump injection relay kit, mines tuned out, anyway's I have a quick question. As far as the fuse panel, which would be the best to tap into as for the switch source. Would that be any of the following( Radio, courtesy, pwr accy, or PCM ign. I just want the waterpump to come on when every I have the key in any position. What do you guys thing????? You would think one of these correct, I've red the big orange one but hell there are 6 big orange one's back there. Just need to know what you all think

When i installed mine I just tapped into the under hood fuse box for the switch 12v source. As for the power wire i ran one from the distribution block thing on the passenger side wheel well through the factory wire loom that runs in front of the radiator.

What fuse you used is what he's after.

i tapped into the ABS IGN fuse...since i don't have ABS on my car anymore. I don't see why this wouldn't work for your car as it doesn't take much power to click a relay.

Damn so your saying to tap into the one under the hood, the fuse and relay box.....That will make things easier for sure as far as trying to run it through the fire wall. Just want to make sure it comes on at the turn of a key you know like the radio would, that's why I was leaning towards towards this one becasue it would be on regardless in what position the key is in....I have everything ran at this point but the last little blue wire which is the one for the switch/ignition source!

Alright I threw the battery in and tried it out. The EWP comes on when the key is put into any setting such as acc, turn back and then I would imagine in start mod, lo. Although I can't start the car yet four a few more days I'm sure.....Ok well thanks guys and I got it from here. Thanks steve

Oh yes I used the ABS IGN fues, so thanks 3rdgen92maro
