The computer provides a ground for the relay that runs the fans. You can add a switch to provide that ground (I did on my 1992) to manually turn them on. On the 1992 it will set a code when you do this but it does not turn on the check engine light. I also added a wire to the 12v output side of the relay back to an LED (one for each fan) so I can see when they are on regardless of the turn on source.
