and I forgot to mention, I've wired the switch so that it turns on/off, but havent got the light working - do I need to get the 3rd prong on the switch to the same power source wire as the fan?

Having that fan on a switch instead of automatic t-stat... Hmmm.... what happens when I borrow your bike and overheat it b/c I didn't know/forgot?? That's probably not a good idea.

The third prong goes to ground so the LED has both 12v and ground to light up. On the switch you should have 12v (switched), the fan, and a ground for the LED.
