how would one go about installing an electric fan without buying a thermostat or using a cheap switch?  
is there any way to wire it in to factory or somthing??  
id like to avoid buying a 60$ adjstable thermostat!  
it would be nice of the fan could come on when the engines says to!

Adjustable thermostats are $35 and i Relay is like $5. If you cant afford that then you could just get a relay and trigger it by a power source that is only on when the engine is on.

Its better to use a Relay and use the fuel pump to trigger when the fans are on. Fans draw alot of current and you wouldnt want to fry something.
