Thanks jcthorne. That does look like a better switch option. When the weather gets a bit warmer I think I may give this a shot.

OK, here is my updated schematic...I think this will do it unless anyone has additional input. seems like it should be nice and clean.
the one box should read:
Air pressure switch has NO and NC connections… NC would always run the fan in reverse and when pressure is up from driving it will run normal . It can be set fairly light it appears.

I think you have a working plan. Do you plan to order this stuff and give it a try? I do, but it may be a while before I can get to another project.

So with your thumb now lifted and the fan continueing to spin in reverse. It would be be hit with a flow of juice to spin the opposite direction. Seems to me that may work once or twice but at some point somethings going to fail.

Sometimes it costs a little more to get it right. Two hundred seems excessive. Unless, it was a BRP fix. Then a person could expect it to be redicuosly expensive.

how a bout a rocker switch with off in the middle. flip it off for a few seconds then back on in the other direction. Or maybe just a solid state time delay to give the fan time to stop before it reverses direction.

Yep, I think in a month or two. temperature and other projects are a factor here too.

The air pressure switch in my diagram could be replaced with any similar manual switch. I like this route as it is automatic. I stumbled upon Gundam's pics where he did use some different relays and a couple of manual switches but haven't heard how it is working for him.
The parts for mine, with a little searching, I can get for around $75 not including shipping.

hmm... I may had to noodle the delay over a bit...I can see where if the fan is running and you come up to a stop or stopped and you start moving it could suddenly want to switch which would probably not be good for the fan motor.... well, back to Google!

Well, I only found 1 automotive grade delay on timer... several non-automotive grade... Adds about $60 to the project, but it should adequately protect the fan.
Parts List:
Cole Hersee Relay 24452
Cole Hersee Cover 97297
1 complete set of Delphi connectors (1205792 & 3 and pins and seals)
Wolsentech TDR-P (need 2)
Cleveland Controls NS2-0000-01 air pressure switch
Cleveland Controls Universal Air Flow Sample Probe & Tubing Kit 60681-010
If anyone comes across a less expensive automotive grade delay on relay, please post a link...these listed are about $30 each...

I was away for a while....
DSC_0052.jpgDSC_0049.jpgDSC_0051.jpg1389406709743.jpg1389406696032.jpg.... due to the Chinese New Year celebrations, where we pay respect to both the living and the dead, one's usually quite busy during this period.... so far my system is up and running well without the air flow switch, just need to remember to switch back to normal fan direction mode when heading out of town.... the components needed for my system is just one DPDT relay (for reversing fan direction), one SPDT ON-OFF-ON rocker switch (for override-normal-reverse mode respectively), one SPDT relay (for a key switched power supply), one 30A fuse holder (for override continuous mode) and also appropriate grade of wirings and wire connectors.... and also of course the air flow switch to be fitted later, I have problems getting the switch, so most probably I will be making one using a micro switch.... I have also observed the fan changing directions immediately with no visible strain nor abnormal noise but I may also install a delay timer for longevity of the fan.... above are some pictures...

Not to be an alarmist. Just thinking out loud here. Using anything that requires manual operation comes with a potential for operator error. Operator error of the cooling system could/may well cause potential warranty issues if anything was to go wrong that directly relates to that system. Again, just thinking out loud but, it seems to me whatever design anyone decides to put in place needs to be as fail safe as possible to avoid ANY potential warranty issues. Just a thought.

Wish I knew what the load was from the fan. These Time delay relays are rated 10A continuous. Using one of the TDR-P and one of the TDR-MF could control the fan directly with out the need of the cole hersee relay if the load is under 10A. Also, since these are build to order relays, you might inquire with the company if they could supply a 30A version for fan control.
Alternatively, here is a 30A TDR:

They are $15 each and using a pair would no longer require the Cole Hersee relay.

It is not hard to find out with a VOM and a jumper wire.

Thanks for the tip on that relay. wonder why it didn't appear in Google when I looked... We could eliminate the Cole Hersee if the other TDR's delay both the 87 and 87a terminals... not sure if they do or not though. When I get into testing I could try it first I suppose.
I am also thinking about adding 2-3 LED's to show Fan On, Fan Forward, and Fan Reverse. Not sure where I would mount them yet though.
Keep the ideas coming. I think we have several viable ideas all of which will be correct and just depends on end-user preference.

The time delay is in the switching circuit. Apply 12v to the trigger input, 10 seconds later the relay switches. Remove 12v from the trigger it switches back with no delay. Either the NO (87) or NC (87a) contact will be closed at all times except for the split second during the contact moving. They are break before make though. Unfortunatly I do not think we have gotten any simpler or cheaper as the circuit would need four of them as they are single pole and both pos and neg lines need to be switched in this reversing application. Or two of them with the Cole Hersee relay.
