- | [* black] You have two choices, neither optimal if you are trying to maintain that untampered look for your warrantee. |

- | [* black] Either way, you will be cutting the cables leading to the fans. In Plan A, you will be re-using the cables and connector. In plan B, you will leave the cut cables in place, and run a new set of cables above the deck. You will need to buy a new two-line connector. They are not easy to find. |
---|
- | [* black] ***Plan A*** You can re-use the current cable "harness" for the fans. The fans are actually run in series (electricity goes through one then the other.) Worse: the fans are connected in series with their own cables, which run through the middle of the where it is difficult to disassemble and access them. |

- | [* black] ***Plan A (cont.)*** You will be crimping or soldering the cables to the new fans to the cables just cut. |
---|
- | [* black] ***Plan B *** If you are going to replace the whole cable harness with a new one, then run the new cable over the "top" of the deck, instead of underneath it like it is currently installed. |

- | [* black] ***Plan B (Cont.)*** Create the new cable harness, . |

+ | [* black] You have several choices as to how much of the original wiring to re-use. See my Teardown for more detail on the fan wiring. |

+ | [* black] In every method, you will be cutting the cables leading to the fans. |
---|
+ | [* black] You can either re-use the existing female 2-pin connector, or buy a new one. These instructions are written assuming you bought a new connector, and are re-wiring the fans with a new harness. |

+ | [* black] This method has the advantage that you can test the fans/harness assembly before you re-assemble the whole kazoo, fill it up with water, and then find it does not work. |
