I Recently upgraded to an electric water pump and affixed all the necessary parts to make it fit and run, but now i have a problem.
When i connected the positive and negative wires to the battery from the water pump, it begins to run. Well i thought maybe it needed to run for a little while but it continued to run. The problem is that it runs even when the car is off and no key in the iginition. How can i fix this problem. I thought about running a pos and neg wire to relay switch inside the camaro that way i can turn it off and on when needed or just turn it on when i am about to start the camaro and turn it off when the camaro is off. Can i do this and how would i hook the wires up, just splice into the hot and cold wires and attach them into the switch. would this work?

I am not sure why you are running an electric waterpump, Just use mechanical one, Well, If you got it, My as well use it, I would find a switch wire located either near the fuse panel or igintion wire, to allow the waterpump to turn on.
