84 300SD. All aspects of A/C work perfectly (vacuum actuators, expansion valve, evaporator, compressor, etc.) but my darn high temp. switch to auxiliary fan is out. I don't want to have my R-12 removed and replaced (probably close to a full charge) just to pop in a new switch (new drier at same time of course). I know some of you have just wired it for manual switching at creeping traffic conditions, but I'm sure to forget to turn it off. Is there any thing else dependent on this switch or just aux. fan; and since all front wheel drive cars(dreaded non-Mercedes) use electric fans that don't fry, will it hurt to just hard wire it ON all the time and let the thermostat take care of the increased cooling capacity thus obtained? I like my engine temp. to NEVER be above minimum spec. if possible(obsessive/compulsive about that). Sorry about verbosity. Thanks.
