Default 96 accord, where does this go?

I started installing a new radiator a couple days ago (on a 96 accord 2.2 non vtec) and was putting in a new thermostat as well, and today i finished the job to come to realize i didnt mark where a connector connects to (its a light green color)....its right behind the distributor and basically above the back hose that the thermostat goes into, or if you stand on the passenger side of the car youll see it in between the intake hose and engine. if anyone could point out where it should go or post a picture thatd be much appreciated

There should be a sensor on the thermostat housing that turns on the fans when the engine gets hot. It has a green electrical connector.

If you could tell us the wire colors, we could also verify that it goes to the temperature sensor.

Thanks you were right, I completely forgot about that being on there, so the new issue is the threading on the fan connector from the old housing is to large to put into the new housing. The new housing came with a plug I can screw in, should I wire a toggle switch to the electric fans then?
