Any tips when changing out the electric intercooler pump?

[RBB]

I'm not sure how to take that plug apart to examine it. I bypassed that one burnt looking pin (cut that green/white wire on both the male & female connectors & connected them with a new piece of wire).

In doing so, the pump now comes on when I jump it at the fuse box relay. However, when I replace the fuse it doesn't seem to automatically come on. Just took it for a small drive and IAT2 ramped up to 180 in a small distance of easy driving.

Drove it back home, popped the hood and the pump is not running. Cut the car off, removed the pump relay & installed a jumper wire, pump came on.

Swap that relay out for another one of the same rating that you know to be good and take it for a short drive again. Check your owner's manual and find one that's optional (not used, stereo, windows, heated seats, etc).

Thank you sir!

Well, my car has always been a flaky one and today is no exception. I replaced the relay with one that works, still no pump. Scratching my head, my wife said maybe if you reset the tune? I figured what the hell, I've tried just about everything else I can think of. Blammo, now it's working...WTH?!? (with the original relay reinstalled).

Took it for a drive and now the pump is running. IAT2 never exceeded 134.00 (85 ambient). Car feels great again with 18.5 degrees of timing at boost instead of the 8 to 11 degrees I was seeing when the intercooler pump wasn't running.

Is it fixed? I have no idea at this point.

I just whent thru all of this, my pump was bad also, but had the same problem pump not running some times, I check the harness , relyas and connectors but couldnt find anything wrong with it, so, I did the full juice mod to it, and did and independent harness for it, so it will run all the time with key on, upgraded to heavier wire and put a led indicator light on the dash to tell me if the pump is running.

@Federico Garza you have any additional info on how did you wire the pump to do the "full juice mod"?

This How To is really good info on this, props to @Catmonkey for putting this together.

If you need to replace it, talk to J2 fabrication. They've got it figured out.

Noticed my IAT2 readings being waaaay too high the last one or two times I drove the car (190 to 200 degrees constantly). Today I decided to check into it. I jumped the ICP relay and I have 11.9 volts at the harness that plugs into the pump...but I don't hear/feel the pump doing anything. So the harness is good, but I believe the pump to be dead.

As I search for a new pump I wanted to ask if anyone has replaced theirs before (2013 model) and have any advice/tips to avoid getting bubbles in the system, etc..

Thanks!

Bringing this topic back from the dead. After replacing both harnesses and running amazing for months, my 14 feels sluggish again. I looked in the cooler tank while running, and zero movement. I pulled the connector near the filter element apart only to see that damn brown pin hole on the new harness. I read someone hardwiring the green/white wire to bypass that connector...is that a permanent fix? Help!! This bug is driving me crazy.

These things are soo problematic.
I completely bypassed my relay as I was tired of it giving me grief. Not sure if that is your issue or not, but something to keep in mind. They do stick
