As I recall, you want the white/black wired directly under the steering column. There will be a two wire plug, with a black wire as well. Test with a voltmeter to be sure...

Also, did you say you tapped the stereo harness for an electric fan? Bad idea. Better find a direct connection to the battery and use a relay. The electric fan draws LOTS more current then that harness was designed for.
