I'm not sure whether to splice in yet. I read yesterday somewhere that the fan in the Civic Gen1 are smart fans with the control on the fan itself. On the other hand, if the power supplied to the fan at the harness (red and black wires) is simply 12V, and the other 2 wires are part of the sensor that control that relay I hear clicking on and off, then splicing into the power supply and leaving the other 2 wires (yellow and blue) to do their sensing seems at least little logical. If that's true, I would get a working fan that's following orders from the sensors. But... I better study up a little more before I go frying the smart fan's brains.
