The electric fan is actuated by high side a/c pressure and will not come on unless the a/c is on and the high side pressure is dangerously high. It's only purpose is to bring down that dangerous high side pressure.

True, but not the complete answer. It is also activated by the blue base temp sensor on the head, back about cyl 4 (farthest right in the photo). That's what activates the high fan at about 105C, while the pressure switch on the drier responds to condenser pressure (somewhere between 16 and 20 bar, depending on red or green switch).
