Thanks for that  but under connectors they list MTA-100 and those look like the fan connectors. What are the ones called that are used on the Motors?

You can use all of the same connectors that are already on your wiring.  The exceptions are the bed and thermistor heaters, which go into screw terminals and don't need connectors.  Or you can order the Azteeg with screw terminals everywhere and not use connectors at all.

I dunno. You're not really sounding like a noob to me. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of the car and show me some identification.

Well now. Sounds like a teenager. Or an infant. Hard to tell from this angle.
