Need help with manual fan switch >

hey guys

all I want to do at this point is wire up a switch that will turn on the main fan at will
..

what would I need to do to do that alone??

I know that the realy creates a ground at 222* so would that should mean that I need to make a switch that will ground that wire before the relay to finish the ground right??

thanks for any help

ok I see this

"Option #1b
In addition, if you want the option of turning on the primary fan at the flick of a switch, it's as simple as adding another parallel circuit (spliced into the same location -- the green/white wire at the coolant fan relay). Essentially, this circuit is used as a "manual override" and I call this switch "Fan 1"."

but I'm not too clear on the actual Wiring of my switch
I do grab the Green/White Before the relay and then "by pass" the relay and splice into ground ??

not to shure but thats what I get

thanks for any help you might have

Find a grounding point under the dash, wire it to one post on the switch, run a wire from the other post to whichever fan relay you want to control. Splice the wire into the green/white wire. The factory setup will work the same as before and you will have manual control when you want.
