you could just run it from a switched source, or put in a high current capable relay that's turned on from a switched source.

the fan is just fine the only thing is that it has to be turned on manually w/the switch..i was wondering if i could set up the thermo to make it start by itself when the thermo reads a certain degree?

You can do that with the Black Magic Electric fan, but I have no idea what fan you are using.

if you have the theromstat sensor with the fan then yes if not you can either (1) buy the adjustable thermostat regulator or (2) the cheaper way is hook the fans up to an ignition and they will always be on when the car is on. if you need help installing these electrical pieces let me know drop me a pm and i can schedule you in. thanks, shaun
