    there is no diagram that I can find on their web-site!
    I have a adjustable thermostatic switch -control box with a 30 amp replay that plugs into the box,it has 5 wires coming out of the box one is the radiator mounted sensor the other for are orange-red-yellow and black

    I don't think the diagram I typed up on here with the 3 way postion is needed !!
    th eblack wire is ground and the yellow wire is a switched power source !! Now whats left is the red wire which has a fusable link ,I'm thinking it goes to the battery source and the orange goes to the positive wir eon the fan ,this is how I plan to wire it up ,does this sound correct
    sorry I don't have pictures and like I said the original wiring i 1st posted is wrong its for a dual fans I'm running a single
