yes you can wire it to a switch so that it comes on when you want, provided there is no break in the circuit somewhere else
which there probably is, unless the fan motor is dead

The aux fan sw is on the left block below #1  plugs; the main fan relay is on the rear of the left inner fender.
In either case to test the fan jumper the Grn/Wht wire to ground and the fan sould come on.
To manually control a fan connect the manual sw between the fan's Grn/Wht wire and ground.

I want to take the Two power wires to a switch and leave them on when the car is off, will this work? :confused:

To switch them on with the engine stopped but ignition on you only need to run each Grn/Wht wire to a DPST switch.
To switch them on with the ignition off requires that switch and you need to supply unswitched power to the relays. That takes a little more effort.
