Basically i have this 12v volt that goes on car battery, it has a speed controller that goes from 0 to like 50000 rpm if you turn it to the right. Red/black cable goes to the car 12v battery, and the controller switch is controlled by 3 tiny cables red/black/white.

I want to solder a snap controller switch so it can spin at max rpm when i press on the controller switch. I have no experience in elektronics, can somebody help me out please how i need to solder the controller switch to make it work.

Hi - why not set the controller to the speed you want, then use a switch in the supply lead to turn the whole thing on / off ? Do you know the current draw? It's just that switch is for AC may not last long switching DC.
 
here's the diagram of the fan the fan uses 24 amps max, i believe the controller is like 12volt but i don't know how many amps it needs. So you suggest to snip the small speed controller cable (red/black/white) and wire a snap switch in between. It sounds good enough for me, do you have any idea which cable colors i need to wire on the snap switch?

And would a 3 amp 12volt snap switch be enough?
