Power steering

Ok just a quick question. My power steering pump went out a couple days ago. upon pulling the pump to go get a new one no body has one like it. the pump on my truck has an eletrical connector that none of the stores know what it is. if some one can just give me some details on this or maybe even a proper part number i would greatly appreciate it. its a 2000 tahoe with the 5.3.

You need to remove it from the old pump and install it in the new pump. Remove the big nut on it.

but what is the electrical connection he's talking about?!?!
I have done a few searches and found nothing on an electrical connection on the steering pump...
