Why not just use standard wiring from it then no wiring to do. Super easy.

I had a coolant tem sensor fail on my old Diesel 306 and it made the cooling fans stay on, worth checking out. Either that or the fan swich on the rad has gone.

As above, fix the underlying problem rather than lash it up with a manual switch.
If it's a non-AC model it's probably a failed radiator thermoswitch - about a tenner for a replacement.

As above, otherwise what happens when a mate/gf borrows the car and ends up sat in traffic..? Since you're an hdi cone filter advocate i assume you'll be ignoring the advice and continuing regardless, in which case:
You need a high-rated 4-pin relay, 50+ amps ideally, if you've got fans worth fitting. Wire it up as per the diagram on the relay itself, it's about as simple as it gets - one signal feed (switch), one earth, one power feed (battery) and one to the fans. If you can't work it out from the diagram on the relay have a quick google on how relays work, should explain everything, basically the switched side of the relay is the side that should be wired from battery to fans. The fans draw a lot of current, so make sure the wire you use for the power supply is adequate, the signal wire and earth only need the usual 5 amp.

And yeah I'm gonna try see if a sensor or wiring is at fault then use the existing loom
Somebody who thinks a cone filter on an hdi is a good idea, just teasing. I think perhaps i should use smileys more, bit of a harsh/not funny sense of humour lol, doesn't across well on the forum.
Let us know how you get on.
