Anyone setup a manual radiator fan switch?

Just as the title states.

Has anyone settup a switch to manualy turn the radiator fan on?

If so, what wires did you tap into?

Id like other members input before I go splicing wires.

I would like to know as well so when I take it to the track I can keep it a little more cooler. I would also like the intercooler pump to run but I think that is more involved. If it isn't too difficult I would like to try it. Cooler the better.

I just used a temp sensor and relay. The tempsensor goes in between the rad blades. The sensor.relay kit can be found at any parts store I would think

EDIT: I see this wasn't a "how to install a fan switch" but "how to turn it on manually"......I guess you'd need some wiring diagrams......Crate Engine Depot for the owners manual???

theres a nice trick i learned on the forum...someone else posted it and i tested it out and it works

if you turn the AC on, leave it for like 10 seconds, then turn it off, the radiator fans turn on and wont turn off until the coolant is 185 degrees or lower
