Default recepticle that matches electric fan

I want to put an electric fan in my 98 Dakota with the 4 cyl. but would like to retain the original wiring just in case. Does anyone know where a female end could be located on these trucks? Is the fog light plug the same configuration?
Thanks guys

Its built into the motor. I got an aluminum shroud and 14 inch fan for a back up when the original decides to give up. Wife is gone this weekend so I will go to the local pick and pull. IMG_18121.jpg

I thought the original fan had died if so just cut off the connector and splice onto the new fan.

You will never find those old style fans motors anymore I have seen them a year ago but at $350 dealer only you are better off not just go to the new style as you can find aftermarket ones at $90 or lower.

The bearing started to get a little noisey so my wife freaked. LOL I took it off and put some of that new style WD-40 on it and it got quite. So its back on there. And my JY hunt only showed four pin connectors. Thanks for that link but 30 dollars is a little steep. When it comes down to it I will just end up cutting the OEM connector off at that time.
I got the shroud and fan from ebay for 70 bucks. And then notched it to use the original hardware.
And did I thank you for your help? Your truck looks super nice. Air box cover made me chuckle
