When i bought my FD, certain parts were removed, reducing price as was going to upgrade them anyway :)

Replaced the radiator, but the fans that came with the new radiator have to leads, im guessing + and - however the standard FD wiring harness has 4

Ive looked at a wiring diagram to little avail lol, i must be missing something >.<

Bassically if someone could inform me what wires of the standard wiring are + and - and what the otheres are for future reference

Thankss

The standard radiator fans have 3 speed settings, low, medium and high. There are 4 fan relays. Both fan motors share 2 of the 4 relays. The remaining 2 relays, one goes to one motor only and the other goes only to the other motor. Therefore each fan motor has 4 wires, one is a ground wire, 2 wires go to the 2 shared relays and the remaining wire goes to its own relay.

Basically the black wire on each fan connector is a ground wire, so they can be wired up to each respective negative wire on your aftermarket fans.

The remaining 3 wires on each fan connector can be wired up to each positive wire on your new fans. So 3 wires connected to one positive wire.

I\'ve made a circuit (along with my electrician genius... :D) to better control aftermaket fan, having them working with "stock" configuration (3 speed) or go manually...
