Radiator fan wiring

I have a 3 connection Rad fan, but only 2 wires for it (if that makes sense?) one Brown wire and one Red/Black (possibly just red, can't remember exactly now!) Brown is live feed and red/black (or red) comes from the sensor plugged into the rad

can I wire this up using just the 2 wires? if so, how should it go?  :dontknow:

eg. Brown to connector position 1 and red/black to position 2 on the fan

or do I need a different fan?

I think your fan may be two speed? did some cars have two speed fans?
 I imagine it will still work though… :?

Phil,

You should have no probs just using one pair of the terminals

Thought so, but which ones?  

Should I just put 2 wires to the battery and try the connectors? I should get 2 speeds then just wire up to one of them? probably the higher speed and see how that goes

(can you tell my electrical skills are minimal at the moment :wink: )

I would - just fuse the live, just incase!!!

When you wire it up, if you get the + and - terminals backwards on the fan connector, I think the fan will actually spin backwards, so before final wiring, just make sure it is spinning the right way!!!

Had a go on my lunch   wired straight to the battery and tried all 3 connections but didn't get anything out of it

another part needed, I'll PM Crazy  :wink:
