well you would be better to keep your fan as it is now but wire your own switch in so you can switch the fan on/off when you want too

probably a case of taking the plug that plugs into the fan, running a wire through the grommit, onto a switch on the dash instead of letting it go to loom, then when you send electricity through, comes on. Simplees

It's not quite that simple. I've done what you said and blown two switches - one of which was rated at 36amps or something daft. You need some sort of resistor in the circuit, a mechanic who got hot overflowing coolant down the back of his neck told me
