Yeah I have a 40222 also to install. I have a bunch of threads I saved to a folder.
Here is one on how to wire it,

Iam thinking of using the Packard Delphi connectors. there are a lot of sellers of these.
Here is one vendor to show what they are.

They make a water tight seal, and if you need to remove or disconnect the pump, makes it easy.
Found this Video explaining them.
The crimper he is using does the crimp in one step, but is pricy. I have seen some on
E-Bay or Amazon that does it in 2 steps for around $25 +

I wouldn't use the PO's wiring. Who knows how F'ed up that is, if it's running a relay from the windshield wiper circuit.
Run your own stuff. I've been running a duralift e-pump for years now. IIRC, I didn't run a relay. I think it only draws something like 5 amps or less. With something this minor, you can run 14-18 gauge wire no problem. Just run an inline fuse housing from the positive battery terminal, and wire it up to a switch on your dash. Then from the outlet side of the switch, run a wire to the positive wire of the e-pump. Then run a ground wire from the neg terminal on the e-pump to the frame or body.
It's pretty simple. (A friend of mine wires his stuff differently, but I don't like it. I'll put it here if you want, but I never do it this way. He likes it because it shortens the require wiring. Step 1: put an inline fuse on the positive terminal, and wire it to the positive on the e-pump. 2: Wire from the neg on the e-pump to your switch on the dash. 3: Put a short wire from the output of the switch to the dash ground screw. It does result in less wiring, but something seems fishy to me having the e-pump always hot. If the switch wire grounds out, the e-pump will just keep running forever.)
