The best advise?
  Remove the switch and wire original rad switch back
the way it was.Controlling fan from inside does nothing to solve
real problem - leaks in coolant system.No, not coolant leaks, air leaks.
Air inside cooling system causes high temps due to blocking flow
If there is reduced flow fan will not turn on but even if it was on
it will not do much
So, check all hoses and clamps for signs of leaks
Of course, under Vanagon
