Test leads for radiator fan motor (high speed).
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.

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.

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.
