Default Best way to connect fan to switch.

So yeah, just figured out why my electrical fan wasn't working, the guy who had it before me completely cut the wires in the wiring harness, why I have no idea.

So i figured now the easiest way to get the fan on is to install a switch in the cabin.

So yeah, does anybody have the best way to do this, like exactly how to run the wires and what I need to do it?

Are you talking about an electrical fan at the radiator?

If so you need to connect it using a Relay. Connect the relay directly to a fan using a breaker and then using the switch in the cabin as the ground to trip the relay. If you need directions on doing this feel free to PM me.

You can also use a temp sensor that switches the fan on when it reaches a set temp. I actually use that and a switch in the cabin to turn on both of my electric fans.
