I'm doing a 2 speed fan installation, this is a question about physical wiring and connecting to the fusebox, I already have a wiring diagram and can wire it all up outside the car.
My query is, what's the usual procedure for wiring this into the existing fuse/relay box?
The 2 relay locations seem to be missing connectors on the inside, and I'm unsure how I actually get to the correct terminals for the fuses and the relays. There's not much room to play with as the cabling doesn't have too much slack.
Do I need to remove the PCB from the back of the box?
Are there parts I need to buy to add the relay terminals?
Thanks in advance

Buy the correct terminals and push them in, or salvage them from a scrapper.
There's not a lot of slack in the cables, but there is enough. It'll stand being pulled quite hard without damage, but there's an important plug onto the PCB that you need to make sure is fully on when you put it back together.

Thanks Brian,
So I buy the terminals and solder them onto the wire, and then push them up into the correct slot where they lock in?
