Default Power Steering Problem

I have a '92 Ford F-150.
Engine size: 302 V8 5.0L

My crankshaft broke in old engine and i had to replace it. Only thing that is from the old motor is the power steering pump. Everything is working great with the new engine except i have no power steering. There is one plug that isn't plugged in and its on the right front side of the engine near the power steering pump. I thought it may have plugged into the power steering pump from looking a diagrams but the pump has no plug on it so that threw me for a loop. The plug is also coming off a wiring harness that is running from the right side of the truck near the fuse box. I hope I've provided enough info so someone can lead me somewhere to finding out where the plug goes. It may solve my problem to having power steering.

Thanks in advance,
Harry

Is there a belt on the pump & its turning?
has pwr steering fluid in the pump?

most pwr steering pumps have 2 hoses going to the pump from the steering rack 1 is high pressure & the other is a low pressure port Not sure if they can be hooked up backwards or not,

Not sure what your electrical connection is for - but the pwr steering should work without any electrical pwr
