I've got a wire loose

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

The fan in my 1987 CGT (closely related to the 4k) is a 2 speed. The way to tell for sure is  by how many wires the fan connector/harness has. If it has 3, it's a 2 speed, if only 2 wires, it's a 1 speed.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the '87 4k has a one-speed fan.
Two settings: hurricane and off.

Thanks,
Jim
