Thanks. I don’t know much about wiring and was trying to find a video and couldn’t. So when I wired mine I thought it could be helpful. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching 👍

I love this Jon. I agree, it’s possible to overthink things. Great job!

Thanks for taking out time to make this video explanation. Have you had any trouble since the uploading of this vid electrically speaking? Or anything you would have done differently?

Thanks I wanted to make a video that I couldn’t find to help me. No I really haven’t. Not one electrical issue. I moved things around on my skid this year,but the pump is still great. Only thing I’d do different is the actual wire. I got some stuff off of Amazon. The wire you can get at AutoZone is thicker. I liked it better.

How are you charging the 12v battery? How long does the battery last under continuous use from the pump?

@jonboysprowash7845

I have a 4 amp charger. The battery last me a long time. I can do a lot with it before needing to charge. I always charge overnight before a job though so I know I’m good to go.

Not sure what kinda wires come with it but my brand new pump worked for half a job and now I've got 0 electrical current. My battery is charged but no sparks at all. Not sure if something got wet or what but now I can't work 🙃

I’m not sure. It sounds like a bad pump to me. My last pump I had wouldn’t pull like the others I had before, and I had electrical problems non stop. When I swapped out the pump with a new one I haven’t had any issues.

What battery did you end up going with and is it working out for you?

My battery is a 28 series from Walmart. It has been great. It stays charged for a long time too. Thanks for watching 👍

I got a question. I noticed their are two spots to hook wires up to on the other end. Are they both positive or which one did you use for what.

@jonboysprowash7845

I am not sure which end you are talking about. All the wires do get connected to the switch and then to battery. Each wire is different because when I first connected them I had them backwards

You use the red and black wire that are spliced together (if you can’t tell which that is it’s the one with the fuse on it) the other positive wire you just leave alone

Can you use a 12 awg with pigtail ? Instead of 10 awg wire

I have seen guys not change the size and get the plug in style on off switches like at Rural King and they work for them. If 12 is what you have I’d use it. Just make sure you have a good fuse like a 30. I ordered cheap wire from Amazon in this video,but the last wiring I did I got some better stuff from Auto Zone and I liked it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you did nothing for the wires efficiency.... Replacing half the harness's lines with thicker gauge wont do anything if you still have those crappy 16 gauge wires coming out of the unit. You haven't removed the weak point with the weak wires, you simply added thicker wires at the end. Right?
