I agree with Leon that your best bet would be to find what's causing the 
heat problem and put the fan back on the radiator thermoswitch where it 
belongs; but if you just want a way to keep everything as it is and just 
deal with the switch problem, pretty much your best bet is to run it off a 
relay. If the wiring up to the switch is adequate, it should be pretty easy 
to stick an automotive relay right there in the dash.
