He can't figure out how to twist the wires together and you're trying to move him up to heat-shrink????

ROFLMAO

Orange Dude - You got fucked because someone cut the power cord off that fan. (If that were a factory pigtail coming off the motor, the wire ends would be stripped and tinned.) You can do whatever you want, but why fuck around with something you know nothing about, thereby creating a safety hazard.

Several people have explained pretty darn clearly how to hook-up the wires but you just don't seem to get it. There's no shame in that. You originally did the right thing by ordering the fan with the cord. The merchant screwed up, not you, so get the merchant to fix the mistake.

LOL - OM - While I was typing this, Skink was posting that great step-by-step with pictures of his. I never meant to insinuate you are too stupid to understand those directions.
PharmaCan Reviewed by PharmaCan on . What can I use to power an ac axial fan?! Ok, I need something that I can use that doesn't have to be hooked up to a computer and can power an ac axial fan. I have an odor problem and I need to get something that works before it changes from fresh plant smell to skunky bud smell lol. I didn't know the right place to put this thread so I put it in the forum where most of the people look. I'm building a basic odor neutralizer that I seen on the forums and now all I need is something to power the fan and I can get it all set up and Rating: 5
