You'll need to do what I did.
Buy a 40A relay (dirt cheap) and wire it up using any toggle switch you like. Two pins are the feed to the relay and two just pass the current through. This way not all of the current is going through your switch. I took my feed straight from the battery (with an inline 20A fuse) and it works a dream.
You'll need to look up how to wire a relay if you don't already. I also used the relay feed as part of the switched live from the radio, so when the ignition is off the fan is off as well to prevent accidentally leaving it on.
