    I'm trying to fit a new radiator fan and wondered if anyone knew if I was doing this ok. Of the loom is a red wire and a yellow wire. I know the fan works because i've tested it from the battery using lenght of wires.

    The red wire is live and does anyone know what the yellow wire is? I presume it's earth?

    yes I do, I know the red wire works because i set it up using a seperate wire to the fan for the earth and the fan spun. when i use the actual yellow wire for the loom as earth then it does not work.
