Fitting a new fan

[bensvarups]

I'm trying to fit a new radiator fan and wondered if anyone knew if I was doing this ok. Of the loom is a red wire and a yellow wire. I know the fan works because i've tested it from the battery using lenght of wires.

The red wire is live and does anyone know what the yellow wire is? I presume it's earth?

have you still got the wires from the loom if so use connecting blocks to the correct wires then tape over the connector thats what i did

[bensvarups]

yes I do, I know the red wire works because i set it up using a seperate wire to the fan for the earth and the fan spun. when i use the actual yellow wire for the loom as earth then it does not work.

have you got wires attached to the new fan you are putting in ?

[bensvarups]

Yes i wired it up

[saxovtsmad]

what i did was cut the loom put my new fan in and connected the wires together

[bensvarups]

Ok well i did that and it doesnt power up i think the earth wire is faulty as when i run the earth to -ve on the battery it works

Reds live yellows earth or if using a slim line blues live blacks earth
