cooling fan is a ground made by the pcm...connects in one of the 3 connectors on the passenger wheel well area..
those 3 connectors go across the front of the engine and in front of the radiator/AC area and connect to the fuse box on the drivers side and thru a relay, which then goes back to the fans...



the first picture is definitely the connector for the cruise control-which I can see is missing from your car in that picture


2 - I cant tell.. doesnt look familiar to me..but its not for the fans
can you take a picture further back or tell me more specifically what that connector is next to?


but 3 might be the wipers...it connects up under the cowl on the far side of the drivers side..I dont exactly know for sure, because I got rid of my cowl and wipers a while back and I dont remember the connector..LOL

Thankks to those who replied...
i will add more pics tonight maybe to help someone tell me what im doing wrong..
i talked to the guy that owned the car before me he said that the slp fan switch just connected into one of the three plugs on the pass side
but now all i have is the switch on one end and red,white,and black wires on the other end . it doesnt have a plug maybe i cut it in the process of the swap...woops

first connector on the passenger side... closest to the firewall...
dark blue and dark green are the 2 fans
it just ties in with those wires...
the wires are Grounds...not +12v signal wires....
confusion of the 2 will result in blown fuses or a car fire.

should be red wire to one of them , white wire to the other, and black to any grounding point.
