Default Doing a wire tuck, is this an ABS plug?

this is on the passenger side, and goes to nothing. I am trying to clean everything up and would rather trace it back and clip it all from the source if possible. Thanks in advance!

I have a slim fan and it was on the car when I bought it...it has NEVER come on, should it be running off of one of these wires?

Ok, well it has a plug in it already, so I guess I will wire it up to a switch in a switch panel then. Thanks for clearing it up for me!

Check to see if the plug is getting power, then run some short jumpers over to the fan to see if it even works.

Also check fuses, the relay, and jump the thermo sensor (iirc) with the fan pluged in, to see if thats the problem..

I hate tracing electrical issues

another tes,t is take a wire and jump the plug that plugs into the thermosts neck, thats the actualy fan switch, jump it and turn on the key, the fan will come on and shut off with the key, i do this in my coupe since its boosted, and i love the peace of mind of knowing the excessive heat under the hood isnt affecting my coolant system by overheating :O
