Give it a try.

to the fan switch idea unless u frequently drive off into high water.

Well, the way I see it, diagnosing and fixing the aux fan would be ideal.

But, if you can't fix it, hard wiring the fan is an alternative. My dash has an engine temperature gauge (that I pay attention to) so for someone who likes a little more control, having a switch on hand might be a good solution. And, since it's a permanent solution for me, I wouldn't describe it as a band-aid.
