I would use something thicker than 14 guage I would use something more like 8 or 10 guage to wire it up!!

Depends on the amps and voltage really, if it's a fan from another vehicle, you'd be alright with 10 gauge or bigger wire. I had to add an altenator and use wire almost the size of battery cables on mine, because I have 2 30-amp fans, so make sure it's not gonna rob too much power!
