Default Wiring electric fan

Hi guys, after lots of searching and googling with no results I've come here for my answer. I've got this electric fan that I want to install next to my clutch fan, and I've seen a lot of people run them on a manual switch. However I want mine to kick on when the jeep reaches idle temp. How do I wire it up correctly? Thanks in advance.

What is idle temp? Most people do on or off and then maybe a high and low.

In my sig there is my write up on how I did my fan set up on a switch.

I have a timer on my electric fan; one push of a button and it comes on for the set time. It can also come when the computer tells it to.
