simple, goto thermostat housing and find fan switch. Wire in a switch that will create a circuit between those 2 wires. I used a simple 10 amp switch and 16 gauge speaker wire.

Make sure you find the right wires FIRST!

i agree with cjames. What is the purpose of having the fan wired so it can be turned on manually?

that way you can cool down engine while in staging lanes.

Also while idle in traffic, 95 degrees outside, A/C blasting, fan running manually, water temp will stay at 180-185 degrees instead of cycling at 210 degrees.
