Default Positive wire straight from fan under dash?

So I just recently bought another civic, and for some reason the previous owner cut the radiator fan connector and ran a wire straight to the under dash fuse box, and a ground wire straight to the frame. This may be a stupid question to some, but the wire going into the fuse box recently got pulled out, and I have no idea where it was plugged in at. Can anyone tell me a safe place to connect that wire back into the fuse box? I need this fixed before I drive to Atlanta for IA tomorrow. Please help! And thank you.

I posted in the 1992-2000 forum, I thought that would have been specific enough.

I can't read wiring diagrams at all, they give me an instant headache, and I'm horrible at electrical work. The wires are already ran, and the fan was working just fine before the wire got pulled from the fuse box. I just don't know which slot it was in.

You've come here for tech advice. My advice is that you return the fan circuit to stock. You can either learn to read a simple circuit diagram or pay a mechanic to do the work ($$$).

And I've told you that i don't know how to rewire the damn circuit right now, and I'm not going to pay someone to do it for me when I can do it myself when I have more time to figure it out. All I asked was a simple question that should have had a simple answer. Instead, you want to be the Honda tech police and keep giving me ****.

I've worked on cars my whole life, but I've never had to mess with wiring, therefore, I don't necessarily know how to do it as well as somebody else would, and I don't want to wire the wrong thing and **** something up.
