Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anybody know which connector wire is positive and which is negative for the radiator fan connector? Is it color coded? Also, what type of test lead should I use- alligator clip, male, female, etc.? I assume the easiest 12v test power source is the car's battery? Other equipment I have is a portable jump starter w/12V cigarette adapter plug. Also cheap craftsman multimeter. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Brown is ground (or negative). Left fan positive leads: yellow/red - high, yellow/green - low Right fan positive leads: yellow/green - high, yellow/blue - low You can use anything as long as it conducts electricity Using a portable jump start is much safer.

POST 4Original post

Fan testing is feature of Durametric - makes this an even more worthy investment. You can activate the fans using a laptop. Added bonus is that the wiring circuits are also tested.
