Radiator Fan Switch

Radiator Fan Switch
I have a 1994 Chevy Camaro and the radiator fan motors were not turning on because of a blown head gasket causing an air pocket in the cooling system. The head gasket is fixed now and the car is not overheating while driving but I tested the car to see if the fans would turn on and they do not turn on still. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, coolant temp sensor, and the radiator fan motor. I also tested the fans by unplugging the coolant temp sensor and the fans come on and stay on. Now I want to set up a switch for the fans so I can control when they come on. I have found some diagrams for other makes and models but I was wondering if anyone knew if there are any instructions for installing a switch for a 1994 chevrolet camaro 3.4 v6 or if they have any other ideas on why my fans would not be turning on.

a switch is very easy to do.. the best way is just install a toggle whats a single in, single out. that means its only funtion is to let power through, or stop it at the switch.
Then all you do is cut the positive wire on your rad fan, extrent the wire to your dash in side, how ever you wnt or where you want your button... then hook it up to the IN part of your switch.. get another wire, hook up to OUT part of your switch and run it back to your rad fan and hook it up the other half of the positive wire going into fan...
DONE!
YOu want fan on, flip the switch.. want it off... flip the switch... lol

EDIT - So also, i have to tell you, you must keep your coolant temp senor unhooked for this to work. Like how they turned on and wouldn't turn off when you first unplugged the sensor..

well id assum all youd have to do is run the wires directly to a switch in what ever location youd like, and then have your positvie to a power source (one thats only on when the car is on) and then your negative to a ground, on the back of the switch it should say which is positive and which is negative hook ups

alright thanks guys I appreciate the help but how do i find out which is the in and which is the out for the switch and then i would just take the out and run it back to the motor? I did not understand that part and I want to make sure I dont mess something up and cause more problems than I fix
