Note: Each connection shown in this section is mandatory for operation.
1. Disconnect battery.
2. Attach black motor wire(s) to M+.
3. Attach white motor wire(s) to M-.
4. Connect the "+" terminal to a 12 volt positive (+)
power source, e.g. fuse box. Use the wire provided in
the kit.
Note: To stop the fan unit from operating when
the vehicle is shut off, attach this wire to an ignition
switched 12 volt power source.
5. Connect the "B" terminal to a 12 volt positive (+)
power source, e.g. Positive side of battery, or alter-
nator. Use the wire and inline fuse provided in the

Temperature Control Sensor Bulb Installation
1. Loosen upper radiator hose at the radiator, pull the
hose off the radiator inlet pipe.
2. Insert sensor bulb, bend the sensor bulb tube
around the end of the radiator inlet pipe.
(The tube is hollow, do not kink. Use wide bends.)
3. Place the sensor gasket (rubber piece with the slit)
between the sensor bulb tube and radiator inlet
pipe. Be sure the tube lays in the slit of the rubber
gasket.
4. Wrap vinyl tape around the inlet pipe and sensor
tube at least twice.
5. Replace radiator hose, tighten clamp. (Do not over-
tighten) Note: You must use a screw-type hose
clamp, some original equipment clamps will leak.
