This is the AC fan's plug. I tapped in here. You DO leave it plugged in, both for the AC to still turn it on and for the ground. |

Here's the hot wire on the motor fan side. |

I slit it with a single edge razor blade...BE CAREFUL! |

The tap is made...soldered of course. You only need the hot wire. |

I put a connector at the other end, just where I hooked up to the AC side. This is necessary for removing the fans to work on the front of the engine. |

Crimping is great. It holds the wire so you can solder it! ;-) |

There, ALL DONE! [Important Note: I did NOT reconnect the AC hotwire...if you do it will ground out when the AC is not on. This is a bad thing! With this wiring the secondary fan always comes on triggered by coolant temp.] |

Test the fans by jumping GND and TFA in the diagnostic box. They should BOTH come on. |

BTW here is a great place to store your paper clip. You know you've run into a real miataphile when they see it under the hood and go, "Hey that's a great place to store that jumper!" ;-) |
