Default Wiring the radiator fan to run all the time?

I got a new Radiator and fan and when I wired it up the fan wouldnt turn so I wired it up with a switch next to my dash from the battery....so I wanted to know if I run the fan at all times that I'm driving will it blow out or something??????

No. But it's the incorrect way to do it. Find out why the fan does not work like it's supposed to and correct the deficiency. Fix it right. Not with a band-aid or work-around.

^^stop giving horrible advice. not you marc your reply beat mine.

hardwire your fan to the battery. if it flicks on one problem down(the fan).
replace your fan sensor. check your thermostat. make sure you wired it right.
did you purge your system after the rad install?
its a fan this is pretty simple work.

Jumper the fan to see if it's actually working. Move on from there. Fan switch would be next. FIRST thing would be to get a proper manual for your car.

If you cant fix something as easy as a fan then maybe we might have a more serious problem... Get a fan switch and put it in. Pretty much it
