Bad wire and bad mileage....

so the civic overheated today in ofallon on my way back from the rex plex. i got to bryan rd and stopped at my gf's brother's house. anyways, me and her brother's looked at it and figured out that the fan wasnt turning on because the wire running from the relay to the fan was bad, so we ran a speaker wire for now. so where can i get a new wire? how had will it be to install?

also, idk why, but i filled up when i bought it and have driven about 80 miles and am already past half a tank. why would it be doing that? what should i check and/or change and/or replace? thanks

I have the AC Fan harnesses as well as the Main Radiator Fan pigtail if you need them.

As long as you have the connector, Get some stranded 14g wire and just re-wire the fan and solder/heatshrink it.

well i figured out the mileage. the odometer doesnt work all the time. so thats a new problem. i thought i had driven a lot farther than that anyways.
