ATB 97.201, the only brown connector is H, the six-contact one that
connects the universe to J101.  It has three wires, at the three
outer corners -- the other three are empty (97.216, 146-151).  So if
that wire comes from the bottom (pin 6) of connector H, it should go
to pin one of the fan thermoswitch.  The 1.5 is probably a type --
all it's doing is driving the relay coil, 0.5 is plenty for that and
would match the 0.5 ground wire for the same coil.
