switch controlled radiator fan

Eventually ill buy a thermostat powered fan.

For now, however, the previous owner installed a switch connected to a 12v/10amp aftermarket radiator fan. He never finished installing it. I don't know where he left off, but ifrom my understanding, he wanted a switch controlled fan that, if left on when cutting the ignition, the fan will also shut off.

Edit:
The Previous owner of my car removed both of the stock radiator fans in my 86 turbo, and installed an aftermarket fan(12v10amp?), but unfortunately, he sold me the car and never wired it up(all the way).

Eventually, i will install a thermostat to control the fan, but for now its just a fan.

Can anyone tell me how to wire a switch to power the fan using the car battery? i know its simple but you know my name.

any help would be awesome!
