Well, it's been over 100 the last few days so I didn't get a chance to try anything. But I went out today and started with the basics. I looked at the fuse for the aux fan, first it was the wrong fuse, a white 8 amp. I took it out, and the metal literally fell out of the fuse. I replaced it with a red 16 amp. Turned AC on while idling and the AC seems to do fine at idle. I have to do a test drive to really prove this out.

My question is, when I press the AC switch, should the aux fan turn on immediately? And stay on as long as the AC switch is pressed?

Thanks
