wanting to turn fans on/off with a switch..

I wanna turn both my electric fans on manually. Is there a kit i can buy that will mount switches to each?

or can someone show me how they set up switches to their fans?

pictures would be appreciated

here's a little literature i found in the tech articles section. (not on the message boards)

they say something about buying switches that automatically turn on at lower temperatures. If you still want to turn on/off the fan manually, it might not help you, who knows, it might. I didn't read it all.

cut the leads going to the fans. attach relays. ground relays. run the hot to a good connection, run the "turn on" lead for the re-lats int the passanger compartment and attach to switches. this way your not running big time current through your switches.

OR

go to the "cooling" board. there is a stucky called "******* updated total fan control" or somthing. buy that. it comes with more bells and whistles.
