Re: easy 12v source
You can tap into your fusebox for the 12v power , but you should use an adjustable electric thermostat to run the fan
I had one on my car before that I could set to turn on when temps reached 190F

Re: easy 12v source
Why not connect a fused relay to the battery for power?
Have the relay triggered by something that is key switched. The only downside is that whenever your key is in the ON or ACCY position, the fan would be on.
I don't know how much current your fan draws, but for anything over 1 or 2 amps I wouldn't tap into another source... you could easily overload it.
