Does anybody have a wiring diagram for attaching 12V cooling fans to an 110V adapter?

The two fans I have have three wires; black, red and yellow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
The yellow is the ground. Just attach it to something metal in the hood. BTW I didn't ground mine, now every time I reach into to the tank and touch the metal I get shocked like CRAZY!!! Scares the hell out of me :uhoh:

The red is postive and the black is negative (most likley)

If it is DC and you connect them backwards the fan will run backwards. I am not sure if it will do this with an ac connection. (mine didn't)
