Isn't the fan switch as the fan still comes on when it's disconnected.

Wires are as thick as speaker wires.

It did have AC if that helps.

Some dick on here told me it was for the fan, so I wired it up to a switch, and surprise surprise, it doesn't come on when the switch is pressed.

Now, fucking around with it, i snapped the clip, so I was wondering if it's for AC or something, if so I can just chop it off.

its the 3 pin one that controls the cooling fan, short out the top single pin and its the bottom right (as you look at it)

might be the right actually, well put a wire from the top pin to either of the bottom ones and the fan should run.

to wire a switch in, leave everything plugged in and splice into the relay wiring, much easier.

So the one with 2 wires isn't needed? Is it for what Phil said?

Thanks Dave.

tbh, the one with 2 wires is redundant when you have the 3 wire one plugged in when you have no aircon. I have no plugs connected on the rad, they are just there to blank the holes. I wired a switch to the relay and use that for cooling, my omex 600 is also wired in to the relay to turn the fan on when I forget
