Did you get the e-mail I sent you? You can add a toggle switch from
radio shack to get the job done.
I would think the computer contains the on/off logic of the e-fan. So
that's all but out. If you want to get real fancy I guess you could
splice off the water temp sensor, signal condition it to desired level,
output to a ground trigger connected to the e-fan relay. This sounds
too much like my work. The toggle switch would be 1000x easier.
