Hi Saumil
What I am calling the coolant temp. sensor/switch (I may have it wrong) is a blue bodied one with two prongs/connections that resides on top of the engine. The first time I pulled it (with the car's electric power "on") the aux. fan started running. The next time I did that, nothing happened. I'm assuming the fuse for the fan is fine because when I jumped the A/C fan switch (down by the refrigerant pressure switch) the fan came right on.

I was beginning to wonder if the aux. fan switch trouble and the A/C clutch trouble are related somehow.
