That looks like the Swiftech relay. I have one of those, and they have good directions for those online.

Go here , and look under Liquid Cooling Products/8500 Series Cooling Kits, then over on the right find the Installation Guide, which is a .pdf file.

Scroll down a bit and the instructions for installing the relay will be there.
 
I think it is different. I downloaded those instructions but that it looks like has a wire that goes over every prong. I only have one wire, and then I have a molex connector. Is that what you had?
 
Yes.
There is only one wire coming from the relay itself (the thing with the molex) that attaches to the L prong of the socket tabs. The other wires come from the pump cord.
Look carefully at the diagram again, and you'll see what I mean.

I bought a set of crimp-on quick connects at Radio Shack (like the one on the relay wire) to make the pump wires easier to attach and look a bit more professional.
And I also chickened out on cutting the cord to my brand-new Eheim 1250. I plugged it into a cheap powerstrip, and cut the powerstrip cord for my relay wiring ;) .
