Another possiblity, and one I always liked, was having a manual switch for my electric cooling fan, for example, if you knew you were about to start climbing a hill, just go ahead and kick it in before you start up. Pretty simple to do and its nice to have for people who actually drive their cars, not just control them.


is there a way to do this and still have the auto kick in when needed? so that under
normal conditions it will turn on by it's self and when you want it on you can do it manually?


Yes, all you need to do is have a switch that provides power to the fan or to the fan relay. This would not negate the factory controls for the cooling fan.
And a series diode in the auto power line just to keep current from leaking into the driver from the manual switch (just in case, may not need it).
