Default 05 AC 500 FAN over ride switch

so i would like to know how to do the fan over ride switch not looking for any arguments as to why i shouldent

i tried to avoid bothering anyone on here with this but can anybody explain to me how to do just the normal on off so i can turn it off when i hit the mud
and leave it on the rest of the ride i like to keep it on at all times thats just my prefrence..
i already have the switch and wires i just need to know where to hook them up... if some body can please explain to me how to do this for dummies lol cuz ive looked at a good 20 videos on how to do it and i still dont understand again i just want the basic on off right now its hard wired to be on at all times wich i dont like cuz i dont wanna break blades and i like to play in the mud

thanks in advance

If it's already hard wired just snip the power wire, splice each end into a simple on/off toggle switch.Or you can toggle off the ground wire,does the same thing.

You can also put in a resetting breaker. I did the switch mod on my old 2001 AC 500. That model had the fan run all the time, in winter it was hard to warm up.

Just go to the fan motor itself and follow a wire,doesn't matter which one and run a toggle on that wire. You're trying to make something simple too hard..

i put the resetting fuse in mine.. Way better than a switch as you don't have to remember to turn it on or off..
