Here is what I would do. Look at your fuse box and find one of the accessory terminals that becomes hot when the ignition is on. Pick up your hot from that to activate the relay. Thats what I have done to power my convertor lock up controller for the 700R4.

He's right. You dont want to power the fan through the ignition switch.
