The wire colors and quantity vary between the two options. I do have a parts 
car here now to get the plug from, I guess I'll have to go about wiring by 
comparing functions with my other running 5k. Plus I never thought it would 
be this hard to find the right pump ha!

I have a child seat in my car, so I'll wait for the weekend to open up the 
seat and refresh my memory. IIRC in the car in question the plug is 5 pins 
(all used) of the type with the wire lock (the type that you push in to 
un-lock it, like the flywheel sensors) and rather long, maybe 2.5".  It's 
been a year or so since I've looked though.
