Default Electric fan temperature switch

I plan on putting an electric radiator fan in my Dak to replace the clutch fan. I have the wiring figured out for the most part but am not sure where to get a 2 pronged temperature SWITCH. All I can find are single pronged sending units. I also want the switch to go on between 195* and 205*.

I believe the single prong is the active wire and the sensor would just body/engine ground. Either find one of those in the temp range you want or get a controller like tamcnally posted. The SLT w/tow package comes with an e-fan so the wiring is already there, maybe you have the wires there somewhere to. I can check the wire color and let you know if you would like.

Forgot you would need a relay of some sort in addition to the temp switch. I would def get a controller kit like the one posted, will probably be nice and easy to install w/directions & diagrams.
