   Hi guys,
   
   I got rid of the 3 plug set up on my 16v conversion and am now running the single plug set up. Everything works fine other than the fans.
   
   I know the fans run off the ECU on 3 plugs and the single plugs runs of the sensor on the rad. I have a single plug rad but have no idea how to wire the fan. I'm awful when it comes to electrics.
   
   Has any body done this before or know of a guide? Ideally I'd like the fans to come on automatically but if that's not possible, I'll have to run a switch for it.
   
   Thanks for your help,
   
   Carlos

   Cool. I need to know how to wire it on to the rad sensor so that it kicks in on it's own.

   Thanks for that I may have to pay an electrician to do it for me. I don't trust myself to do it.
