on the fan control relay you want the yellow, & the yellow with white strip wires (both on the centre plug on the relay). You just need to earth 1 depending which speed you want. Yellow is full speed, yellow with white stripe is slower speed

i did mine originally to get the hot air out of the engine bay while waiting in the fire-up lane, but some idiot moved the fan to the boot lol (still got it on a switch tho)

The fan should come on and go off automatically.

all the lives will be high current & believe it goes straight to the battery, switching the relay signal wires is alot safer (& no i don't know)
