John, if you have the a/c on, the fan would stay on regardless of the
thermostat, so the switch could be helpful in turning off the fan. I am
putting a manual switch on mine just for this as I make a lot of road
trips.

I don't see the point to this. When you're driving 40-50, the normal
airflow
through the radiator will keep the engine cool enough that the
thermostat
will never turn the fan on even without this switch.
