Default How would I hook up my fan?

Its a pretty much stock 00' GT and I'm trying to hook up the fan so when the ignition is turned on the fan starts up. Dont ask me why im doing it cause its a friend's car, but how would I hook it up? I know how to do it to a switch, but he's afraid if someone drives it they will forget and over-heat the motor.

You can't safely turn it on useing just the ignition. If you put it on a switch the right way the computer will still turn the fan on low and high speeds on its own. The switch is to just put it on high speed when you want.

oh, its starting to sound a little bit more complicated than I thought. the only one I had somewhat done that to was a 90 LX. the new computer run motors are a newer thing to me.
