Fan rewire kit
I might being a bit thick here
I bought a fan rewire kit as my escort cosworth was playing up fans not kicking in then sometimes they would
Rewire kit turns up looks great etc etc I go to fit it following the instructions it says remove the fan switch and join the wires to the new loom which is straight forward but there is four wires on mine is the kit wrong

Should be straight forward.
+ & - for battery, then 2 wires for the fan switch.
If you bought a Matt Lewis loom there will be 1 wire left, if you don't want an interior over ride switch, just put it to + on your battery and it'll work as Ford intended it

The wires are as follows.
The2 wires with Ring Terminals on are Battery + & -
The thin wire (red or sometimes white) needs to go to ignition feed so that your fans only come on with the ignition.
The other 2 wires that your on about do go to the fan switch, However as your using an Escort Cosworth Fan switch you have 2 options. The Escos Fan switch will turn on your fans at 2 different temps usually called fan low speed and fan low speed. The kit you have there will only turn your fans on at one speed.
Option 1; find which pins go to the high speed fans with a multi meter and wire your new loom to that.
OR
Option 2; Fit a Sapphire Cosworth Fan switch that is a 2 pin variant and will switch the fans on at one speed. This switch is a direct replacement for your switch
Hope this helps.

Last Time, Get Off PF FFS
Aren't the 4 wires your on about for the fans themselves. 2 pos and 2 neg.
The ones circled here I had to built them into the plastic cover things on my re-wire kit and cut the olds wires on the attached to the fan casing.
