as long as the wiring is all neat.
you shouldnt need a switch though, it shouldnt overheat.

I'd be more tempted to get to the cause of the problem, in the mean time out a bridge piece in the plug so the fan is constantly on - saves putting a hole in your dash for a switch which hopefully won't be there long.
Normally when the fan doesn't cut in it;s the switch that is internally fucked, that'd be the first thing I was to change (the one that screws into the rad)

yes, what jules said.
you can run 2 wires directly from the switch wire but I would always run a relay (as I found out recently when my wiring burnt)
