Mishimoto fan install, please help

I bought a Mishimoto radiator and fan shroud kit. I am doing the install and I wanted to ask a question about wiring before I just start cutting wires.
*Disclaimer - I am color blind.

The Mishimoto fan has a blue wire and black wire, and the stock fan has green and blue wires.

Do I just connect blue to blue and green to black?

try blue to the green.
and the black to the blue.

usually the black in anything is ground (negative).
and usually the green in anything is the positive (unless there is a red).

I just installed a Mishimoto FAL fan. The stock radiator fan wires should be black and blue. Post up a picture of what color wires are on your stock fan and new Mishimoto fan.

you need the module--it turns on and off the fan as needed. mount it under the battery, there is a bolt there and its close to the fan.

The stock fan should have blue and black wires mine did. Put black with black and the blue with whatever wire you have. Don't solder the wires yet. Turn the car on heat up and make sure it's pulling the air from the front to the engine bay
