I tried the wiper motor red wire power source.The fan would kick on/off in 1-2 sec spurts.So I went to the under hood dome light but the fan kicks on when its not needed.

Yes.
You need to add some kind of relay or relays. Or go one step better and go with a dccontrol.

Yeah. I know what you mean.
I had just bought a dccontrol kit along with a few other things like the LED light and power filter and I just sold my car before getting a chance to put it on.
I still have it sitting in the box brand new if you are interested.
