Hooking up an Electric Cooling Fan 700 1988

My cooling fan died (the electic fan in front of the radiator). I found another at a salvage yard and switched it out with my dead one. In doing so, I unhooked the wire cable from the thermo switch in the top passenger side of the radiator. In reattaching that, it occurred to me I had not marked which of the two wires in the cable went to which of the two contacts in the thermo switch. However, I am assumming that since the switch merely serves to complete the circuit when the engine gets hot, then it doesn't matter which wire goes to which contact. Right?! (Of course, on the other end, the end which attaches to the fan itself, there is an idiot-proof connector -- which is a good thing in my case!). Thanks.
