I was thinking of a digital infrared motion sensor pointed towards the radiator fan. It would trigger a relay to apply power to a circuit.

About $6 for a sensor (DFROBOT SEN0018 Gravity), $5 for the relay (12V 30 40A Spdt Bosch ), and the cost for wire and loom. You pull power from a key-on accessory fusebox to power the sensor (needs to be be dropped to 3 volts- $2 varistor can do this) and relay operations.
