If you do want to run a fan switch in the car it would be better to feed the fan with +12v from the alternator and fuse it, then switch the earth by running the earth from the fan into the cabin then ground it behind the dash. That way if the wire shorts out somewhere all that will hapen is the fan will turn on rather than you blowing a fuse or having a fire!
