I used a spare defroster switch installed in the extra hole in the
instrument cluster and fed a wire  down to the fan switch.  It could
activate low or high and I initially put in on low.  But I would sometimes
forget it was on after reaching the top of the pass, so I changed it to run
the high speed which I could always hear.  I hardly ever needed it, but it
worked great to bring the temps down before the fan would normally kick in.
