Fan Silver Resistor. Help Needed

[Arctic]

Hi just been over the shop to buy the bits and bobs i think i may need to do the fitting of the 2 speed fan and new resistor. ie soldering iron, solder, wire 27amp 44/0.3mm on this could some one tell me if this is ok i am going to use this to extend the wire from the motor so i can fix the control box in the engine compartment should i ever need to get to it in the future. hope everyones not getting fed up with this thread as i am hoping this will help the less experienced of us in this modification. cheers arctic.

There's only 3 wires to extend by approx 12"

2 cables to resistor
1 remaining cable to the motor. (as in the thread Arctic points to)

I've used 4mm cable in the past
As long as its no thinner than the original gauge you should be OK

Hi Jules thanks same gauge Ho!!! no it's those photos again

Here you go Steven knew I had the pic.
You can see where all the wires go.

If you're using your old 3 speed loom into the 2 speed box, the 2 brown positives need to become 2 x -Negs.

Grey circuit goes via resistor
Red circuit effectively shorts out the resistor and hence goes to MOTOR BLACK


Easiest way to achieve that is cut thick black and browns BEFORE they split near the plug ends and swap them over.



The thin black that is earth for the PCB will be retained and joined the thick black at the plug end.
Less cable joins if you do it that way.

PURPLE circuit not used anymore for 2 speed and can be cut off.
Final change will be to connect the THIN GREY to the Red/Blue as in top pic

HI i am still confused and the is too much i am still trying to work out these wires it maybe that i dont have the other box and loom in front of me making it hard to sink into my coconut shell


Not sure you could read the first one


What do i do with the two black wires do i change them for the brown wires that should be in my original 3 speed control box

Hi
tried the new resistor today and all seems to work as it should, i also cut the cowling ready to be fitted back on to the car without having to de-gas am hoping i cut it in the right places. below.

Hi
Weather permitting today is the day i try to fit the 2 speed fan wish me luck and i will be poping on and off the forum to see if i need any help cheers all who have followed and helped so far Arctic.

Hi Jules when you say the two brown pos need to become 2 x neg where do i fit them ie where do they go.

well with this rain i am stuck, added to that i think i have just fitted the resistor to the wire what is already coming from the two speed. when if i use my loom i should not have
