ALL READY TO WIRE MY FAN UP BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT WHICH CONNECTOR IS POSITIVE AND WHICH IS NEGATIVE. MINE IS OUT OF A 97 MARK SO I WANT TO HAVE IT RUNNING ON HIGH AT ALL TIMES.
THANKS.

use a battery from your cordless drill to figure it out, it wont hurt anything!

It's real simple - wire it up correctly and the fan sucks air through the radiator. Wire it wrong and you will feel it blow air backwards out the front of the radiator. Neither way will hurt the fan or make smoke.

On my fan (1996 version) the Blue wire is positive and the black is negative (for proper rotation)

You would want a 75 amp relay or a Dc Controller. I would far and away choose the latter, esp for that big daddy fan (which can otherwise really suck some start-up juice).
