Define what Thermal load it needs to turn the low speed on for me Arthur. How can I duplicate that situation? I can't seem to get the car to go over 82C today sitting there in the drive way. With AC on too. It is 60F ambient temp today here. Should they come on immediately or do they have to see more load than that? Mine are not low speed functioning when at 82C with AC on. And I think they should be running immediately when AC is put on. Is that correct? So that relay is bad or the level is low. At first I was leaning to the relay due to the fact the AC puts out very well but I read a few thread says this is wrong way to think about it. Could still be it is just slightly low enough to do exactly this. And that is more likely the issue here. Something to look into first I guess.

They will come on at near 90-100C (not sure when but have observed them both running at one point) in low and they will come on High (no mistaking that noise when they do that) at 107C and then they hold temp there, if not drop it a tad. This is all with AC on or not. So I know from that the Fans are fine so I imagine I should look into the AC relationship even though I have not seen any problems yet... but then again, it is winter and not harshly hot this time of year. Good time to go into that I guess.


Added on edit, From pictures I have seen of this Bridged Resistor, it appears they have just lodged each end of the resistor lead into the plug? Of course I would need to know which two too shove it into if that all it is....
