He can check the switch and if it is good rewire it into the circuit, but personally, if it were me I'd probably just tap into the wiring of the compressor clutch and let the aux fan run anytime the compressor ran. It won't hurt a thing. IIRC the aux fan is powered through a relay so the extra load on the compressor circuit to close that relay should be negligible.
