Crimp a large ring connector to the positive (+) battery end of the power lead and connect it to the battery 4.
terminal. (secondary battery on passenger side)
Locate power distribution box (fuse box). Find a circuit that is “hot” when the key is in the “ON” position.

NOTE: DO NOT use the DRL or brake/ taillight fuse! Attach the included fuse tap to the fuse. Attach a
pink female connector to the thin red wire included and attach to the fuse tap. Trim the wire so that it will
reach the Fan Motor Control. Attach pink female connector to the other end of the wire and connect it to
terminal #9 on the Fan Motor Control.
Locate the wires going to the A/C clutch. Determine which wire is ground (-) and which wire is the
6.
positive (+) trigger wire. Tap into the positive (+) trigger wire using the supplied thin green wire and the
piggy-back connector (blue). Determine the length needed to reach the Fan Motor Control and trim to
length. Attach a pink female connector and connect this wire to terminal #8. NOTE: terminal #7 on Fan
Motor Control will be left open.
Find the 2 thin black wires coming from the temperature sensor that you

installed earlier in the radiator core. Determine the length of wire needed to
reach the Fan Motor Control. IMPORTANT: strip the insulation of the wires
back about 1” and fold the bare wire back on itself to double the thickness of
the wire before connecting the pink female connectors (see detail #8). Then
attach these wires to terminals #10 & 11. Both wires need to be connected
but it doesn’t matter which wire goes to each terminal.
If optional manual switched (Flex-a-lite #31148) has been purchased, attach it as follows: To override

engine temperature to turn fans off, connect the switch to terminal #5 on the Fan Motor Control to send
a negative (-) signal. To override engine temperature to turn fans on, connect the switch to terminal #6
on the Fan Motor Control so that a negative (-) signal is sent.

WIRING THE FAN MOTOR CONTROL
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO AVOID DAMAGING THE CONTROL
UNIT, FAN MOTORS, AND YOUR VEHICLE! WHEN CRIMPING WIRES, ALWAYS USE A
QUALITY CRIMPING TOOL (DO NOT USE PLIERS OR OTHER DEVICES).
Find the thick red and black wire bundles in the wiring kit. Use the yellow butt connectors to crimp the red
1.
wire to the short red wire on the Fan Motor Control, and the black wire to the short black wire on the Fan
Motor Control (see wiring diagrams on next page).
Determine the length needed to connect the red and black power leads to the battery terminals on the
2.
primary battery on the drivers side and trim appropriately. Crimp a large yellow ring connector to the end
of the black wire and connect to the negative (-) battery terminal but DO NOT connect the red wire yet.
Find a convenient place to mount the circuit breaker between the Fan Motor Control and the positive (+)
3.
battery terminal and use the 2 screws provided to mount it securely. Cut the red wire at the point where
you mounted the circuit breaker. Find the red boot for the circuit breaker and lay it on the breaker. Crimp
a small yellow ring connector to the ends of the wires and connect them to the circuit breaker.
NOTE: BE SURE TO CONNECT THE END COMING FROM THE BATTERY POSITIVE (+) TERMINAL TO
THE “BAT” TERMINAL ON THE CIRCUIT BREAKER (COPPER COLORED). Once both positive (+) wires
are connected to the circuit breaker, fold the top of the boot over and press to fit. This will help insulate the
circuit breaker from arcing.
