Well I am getting ready to go to the track tmrw night and I am curious about making the fan run all the time to cool the motor down between passes..when I had my last car (a 92 toyota celica gt ..ya I know an ex ricer) I could unplug the temp sensor from the radiator and the fan would run anytime the switch was on since the senson wasn't reporting properly..I know I shouldn't really worry about it but my car runs MUCH better at half way or so on the temp hand than it does at the normal wich stays w/the hand between M & A where it says normal on the gauge (quater past half). If there is a simple way to do this I would appreciate it and I will see what type of difference it makes...thanks guys

Unplug the harness and get two wires to go straight to the batt.
I dunno if this would work cause I dunno what it looks like under there, never done it before. But in theory it should work.

This article should have everything you need to know about wiring a switch to manually turn on your fan.
