Cooling fan Rad. Switch: Wire Identification

Post by Fiat88 »

Want to make sure I hooked up the rad fan switch terminals correctly. The following pic is of the rad switch I have: What terminal should the positive wire go to and negative wire? Like male bullet connector or female bullet connector. THx.

doesn't your harness have a similar plug? Those aren't positive and negative wires; they're both on the ground side. The switch merely interrupts the signal when it's open

In other words it does not matter which wire goes where.

The PO had replaced the old switch bullet connectors with the other kind of connectors. I bought a new switch and and just crimped some new bullet connectors on the car wires.
