According to IF, the fans are to be wired to the 12v input from the battery (not the output of the victor!). Make sure you get the correct polarity, as the fans may be damaged with reverse and won't acutally cool the FET's when reversed. The fans should run anytime the victor is powered.

Also, there is no keyed version of the PWM cable to fit into the shrouded Victors. Most cables fit in very snugg with a bit of force. If yours really don't fit, trim the black cable terminal, not the Victor!

Shroud or not, I recomend using just a touch of your favorite glue to keep the PWM firmly seated. I've had good luck with just normal elmers glue.
