The relay for the Black Magic fan is built into the control box which is
part of the shroud.

I know it's a crime to assume anything, but I have to put faith in
Flex-a-lite that they would match the built in components to meet the demand
of their fan motor. Of course, I know they recommend this fan for 318 and
360 Dak/Durango's which is turning out to be not quite right.
There is a + that goes directly to your 12v source. There is a - that goes
to ground. There is another + which goes to an ignition controlled 12v
source. There is another lead which goes to the + side of your A/C relay.
This turns the fan on whenever the A/C is on. Also built into the control
box is a temp sensor which is placed against the radiator. Inside the box,
it reads the temp sensor and turns the fan on whenever the sensor reaches
whatever temp you set it to come on at. The range is 180-240.
