Need help id'ing radiator wires

[fairweather]

The PO cut the plug off of radiator wires for some reason and I've just got a brown and brown with yellow wire hanging.

Can some one take a look and tell me which one is passenger side and which drivers?

 These are the two approx 12g wires going into the back of the fan.

Not sure if I would damage anything by trial by error but contrary to how I normally do things I'd prefer to just get right the first time, lol.

Thanks, Tom

Learned something new about 12v motors, if hooked up backwards it just runs backwards.

Noticed the socket was not directional like I thought so just hooked it up and shorted temp sensor.

Yes on the 12v dc systems with anything like bulbs and electric motors you will not harm it hooking it up backwards. The electrons will just flow the other way through them, and spin the motor backwards.

However doing this to polarity sensitive items will more than not short them out, and fry them.

ps. As a side note, brown is always ground in these cars.

almost like the color of DIRT, often called EARTH or GROUND, lol

That is why us soil scientists are known as dirt bags, or the vermin of Terra firma.

Might be why I get confused wiring a plug in the UK.
