on,off,override toggle switch?

the reason why im wondering is because right now i have my electric fan wired so i can turn it on myself at any time........but the problem is, is that if i let someene else drive my car or if i leave my car running somewhere......it will start to get too hot and the fan wont kick on.........so what i was looking for was a 3 position switch that has the on and off.......but then another position that does nothing, and lets it turn on when the computer says so............is ther such a switch or way to wire it?

thanks

you can buy a single pole double throw switch, ya know an on off on, and maybe wire one of the one poles to the computer if thats possible but i dunno if that would work or not. heres the website for a swithc ya might need
