Cooling fan module
Decided to try out a new module sold on ebay. Aftermarket. Does anyone know if these have to be programmed or are the aftermarket ones supposed to work fine?

The OEM modules are not programmed to the vehicle. I would assume the aftermarket are no different.
I'm assuming you've dealt with German cars before where everything has to be programmed to the vehicle including the floor mats lol (just kidding about the floor mats)

Lol yea I sell parts just parted out an Audi a4 and audi q7 so I dont trust not even my grandma with aftermarket parts. I tried to look up a wiring diagram for this but the one on the forums doesnt specify were the wires go I'm guessing those dont matter either. I'm talking about the module power plug 3 wire white, white and black and green(cam signal) the other 2 are constant and ground

For instance an ABS sensor...if the sensor has a lead on it that goes to a remote connection to the vehicle harness the wiring diagram will only show up to that remote connection...that lead is considered part of the sensor and therefore not shown in the diagram.

Generally the wiring diagrams only go to the component connector...so if after the connector there is a short harness that goes to the actual component you won't see that in the diagram.
