Re: Remote Control Molex Connector Kit Troubles

I don't know what you mean by "+12v in and +12v out". DC voltages from a computer power supply are either positive (most voltages are), negative,, or ground, which is neutral. In a molex connector, There is a +12v to ground connection, and a +5v to ground connection.

If you want to control a fan with it, you take a +12v and ground wire, strip it, and stick the metal tip into the 3-pin fan connector. The negative (black) goes to the ground, and the positive (usually red, which actually doesn't make sense, but it is anyway) goes to the +12v.
