    just hook up a toggle switch if you want a simple fix. Make sure you put a fuse inline with it. It's always best to use a relay like DEI 8617 so that your switch itself isn't handling all the current. I've seen direct wired switches melt before, relays will ensure that doesn't happen.

      I know that there is a way that you can put a switcha dnt thanks for that feedback man. But does anyone know a way I could just hook a wire to the ignition. Cause I'm short on money. So the switch and relay and fuse thing is out of the question.

          thats the cheapest its gonna get, ive done this with my headlights and radiator fan, all running off my radio power wire, lol. after two melt downs i pulled out that old issue of Turbo where they wired up a fuel pump with a relay...the relay saves you from having to wire up all your shit a second time after it melts.

            Why don't you just repair the wires? Just buy some wire and some crimp connectors or solder them together and cover with electical tape. That's your best and cheapest route.

                Yeah...Just go to autozone and buy sum wire...It will cost you lik $5-$6...And twist the new wire with the hot wire...And run the hot wire from your fan to your ignition...And you will be good...I did dat...But I ran my ac fan to my radiator fan and to tha ignition because my radiator fan went out...And I had to run lik dat for a week...N I dnt recommend using the ac fan as your radiator fan like I did...
