This way is better then having the fan running constantly!
The fan switch is mounted on the passenger head near the firewall on my 2.8.I didn't cut any wires.Just spliced into the switch wire.Then you can mount a toggle within reach on your dash.Easy as pie!

The next time you think your perfect,try walking on water!

Smart solution!!
Make sure you use real THICK GAUGE wire for this trick!
Go to an electrical store for real good HD switch.
IF not!
YOU MAY MELT WIRES and that's not good!

yea you can do it without a switch, take the first part of kevin's directions and splice into that wire, then put a loop connector on the end of your spliced wire and ground it somewhere or even to the battery, then its on whenever you turn the car on. Just remember, with it running whenever your car is on, you'll be replacing those fan motors consistently, the fans only meant to come on speratically.
