This task isn't rocket science, but is is something you probably want to get done before you drop an engine in the car. The cooling fans on the radiator unit have two plugs. The fan itself is controlled by a temperature switch controlled by the ECU. Here's the problem, the fans are up front and the ECU is back behind the fuel tanks.
The kit comes with a packet containing wires in the correct color and gauge. All you have to do is connect them then run them back to the other end of the car via the tunnel. I already had a large wire loom conduit in the tunnel, so I just routed them using it. These wires run by a number of tubes and pipes carrying hot fluids. Wire loom is provided with the kit - use it. The kit comes with a long strand of wire loom, but there are needs for different sizes of wire loom. Harbor Freight and Amazon have plenty of packages to choose from.
The wires are coded: gray, blue, black and white. This is how they were paired on my equipment. I am guessing I will need to know this eventually.

| You need to cut back the tape so the wire can be exposed and stripped for the splice. |
