Electric Fans

Hello,
I recently installed electric fan in 1999 F150 4.6 4wd and I have searched all over to determine which wire I need to connect to for the ac override switch off the compressor. Could anyone tell me what color the wire is?
Thanks

I clipped in right there at the compressor. IIRC it was green.

The wire is gray w/ white stripe, and can be tapped into at the firewall, next to the battery. Connector 119 is a 16 pin connector w/ pin 7 being the gray/white AC Clutch wire. Your connector 119 might have more wires in it than the one shown below (XL w/ few options).

Less drag (from the clutch fan) on the engine freeing up a little extra horsepower
