I found that out by accident. With no switch and the pump tapped into the light blue wire both the wipers and pump were going with the key on. If the switch controls the ground, should I hook up the ground wire of the pump to the switch and run a hotwire to the pump? It seems to be doing something, but I won't know for sure cause I had to order a new switch because the made in Taiwan switch self destructed when I pulled the connector off the back.
Edit: Reread your post. So is the other wire on the original pump hot or a ground?
