While you have that grille off and you're staring right at the connector for
the fan wires you might consider this:


I wired my fan for manual overide using a VW fog-light switch mounted in an
unused rectangular opening in the upper right corner of the instrument
panel.  Those switches are 2 position so I can turn the fan on low or high
whenever I want it.


Why on earth?  We do a lot of mountain driving and sometimes you're lookin'
at a 10,000' pass 12 miles ahead and know the fan will kick on as you climb
the grade so to me it makes sense to give it a head start when you can see
what's coming.
