Do as Gunny suggests and check the ignition switch, from description of symptoms that's probably the source. As far as having to pump the clutch to get it to crank, that is most likely a bad clutch switch, you'll want to check that as well.
As far as the e-fan wiring goes, explain to us how it's wired. Are you saying you tap a constant hot +12V at the fusebox, and just manually switch it on with the toggle switch? If so, then there's 2 possibilities as to why it doesn't work:
(1) The constant hot +12V you think you tapped in the fusebox is really a switched +12V source, or (2) Bad ground in the e-fan circuit.
