Planning to do a fan mod for both engine and radiator fans.
Can anyone suggest a console switch?

If you want to use a OEM tip switch and relays then the footwell light switch is the way to go.

I just bought mine at The Source (RadioShack) and modified the batwing to mount them.

It's not the most attractive set up, but it's very functional.

Sorry, what's a tip switch and footwell light switch?

All the switches on the center of the dash (i.e. PSM, Defroster, Heated Seats) and referred to as TIP switches. They are not on/off switches but rather work through relays. The Footwell light switch is another of this type of switch, fits in the horseshoe and batwing slots, and looks OEM. It was a switch for "footwell lights" that was and option, but not seen on many cars. It has a light symbol and an actual light in it to show if it is on or not. Sorry I don't have a picture of this switch handy. I have used them for a few DIY's. I have one to toggle through the OBC functions (until I finally get around to installing the 4 stalk switch on the steering column). On this one I also modified it so the the light goes on when my spoiler is up (through the DIY dash spoiler switch I did) and have one waiting in the batwing position for the fan switch.

I you want to pursue this option I can find the instructions for the switch, relays, etc.

Thanks, I saw your previous post on the footwell switch and wiring. Seems that a latching relay is a must when we use a tip switch. May be a simple toggle will be the easiest route for me.

Quick question, from your .pdf in your post, should I be using the PIN 5 on the latching relay for the "switched gnd" output for the fan mod? Did you tap into the other tip switches for the 12v and LED?

Sorry I am out of town riding the Harley for a three day weekend. I will follow-up when I get back.

I put two switches in the bat wing. One is for the radiator fans, the other the engine fan (which I don't have installed at the moment). Here are some photos. I believe the switches were purchased from AutoZone.
