Default Need help wiring electric fan!!!

I bought an install harness with the relay and temperature sensor that screws into the intake. Coming out of the sensor is two wires, one goes to the harness and the other goes to an ignition power. My question is where under the hood can I hook this second wire into. I know I can just run a wire to the fuse block under the dash but I wanted to know if there is some place closer.

You can hook it right up to the feed. I originally had my hooked up as recommended to ignition power but since switched it. Now after driving, after the temperature rises with the key off. The fan will cycle and cool things down under the hood.
