Radiator electrical connections?

I took out my radiator, and I was dumb enough not to mark the electrical connection on the bottom, there's a black wire and a brown wire with a blue stripe, and on the radiator theres two prongs to put the wires on, which wire goes on which plug?

I"M SO DUMB!!!

I have never seen a connection on the bottom of the RAD. When I go home I will check mine. What year is your car? Na/TII?

It does not matter which goes where, as long as you make sure its connected up. One wire goes to ground, the other to the ECU. The water temp switch makes a circuit thru it when the water in the radiator reaches a certain temp. If that switch does no make or one of the wires is off, your acv will dump air overboard when driving instead of sending it to your Port Air and Split Air. Makes the Relief Solenoid disfunctional when driving.
