You need the fan harness from a big fan van and the fan resistor. Don't
connect the existing small fan wires to the big fan. The big fan setup
gets a separate power feed from the battery to a 60 or 70 amp relay with
a 50 amp fuse at the relay. This is the direct connection for high
speed. Lower speeds use a big resistor to reduce the current flow and
get their power from the main fuse box. Look at Bentley page 97.200 to
see the simpler implementation of the big fan.
