I need a little ID help please. I got these fans off ebay with switches, relays, etc. I'm going either to the dealership or the u pull it yard to try and find a plug for this so I don't have to splice in the fan itself. Question is what color wire is what so I'll know what to connect the plug to? There is a black, brown, and yellow. Thanks guys!

Are you wiring it up with just a toggle switch or are you going to use a temp relay?
 
From what little I can tell in that picture, you've got two fans, and actually only two wires to each fan motor.

Compare the wire colors at the fans, with the wire colors going into the piece you are showing in the pic. They are *likely* the same going into whatever that piece is you are showing, and into the fans. It appears that piece is just a sealed junction block?
 
The wires going from the unplugged part are black, brown, and yellow and they go to the first fan. The second fan that's plugged up there are 4 wires, 2 black and 2 blue. I want to use a temperature switch with a toggle bypass if possable. It looks to me like the fan on the right is the main and the other is the auxillary. I just want the plug so I don't have to cut into the wires of the fan itself. I was hoping someone would have a truck with this fan on it to maybe see how it's wired from the factory.
 
Good luck with that. :(

If you are lucky, someone will, but I know locally, you can find any service/wiring manual you want by talking with the county library system. Heck, can even search online for them. Anyways, might be an option in your case at least to figure out what does what. Of course, if you hook 12V up to the fan to test, either you get it spinning the right way, or wrong way. :)

If you have more than two wires to a fan, I wonder if they are dual speed?

Got any decent wrecking yards around you? If Dodge was anything like GM, many cars similar vintage probably share the same connectors, and will be much easier to find. Napa may even sell the pigtails, but they tend to be way too expensive for my taste for things like temp sender connector wiring.

I'd probably grab some mid-late 80's GM temp switches/connectors/wiring while I was in the yard too, if I could find them. Gotta be careful here, as many electric fan setups used a switch for a second fan only as a backup to the primary. If it's a GM single fan setup, it probably just uses a temp switch in the head or block somewhere.

Used fans, why not used connectors? :)
 
We 've got a couple of u-pull-it yards here so I'll definately go there for the pigtail itself. I think I'll just take the fans up to the dealership and see if I can get one of the techs there to tell me what goes where. I'll also look online for a wiring diagram on this fan setup as well. Thanks again guys!
