    I just went out and tried it now that my car had been sitting awhile. I started the car with a/c off-----no fan. Next (with the car running) I pushed the a/c button----still no fan. Finally, with the a/c button still pressed, I turned the fan slide switch on. I went out to check the fan, to my surprise no fan. I had enough time to think "hmmmm" then it kicked on, which is when I also heard a click, much like the compressor click. Soo, I am thinking if the compressor is running then this fan is running...I didnt run it long enough to watch a off cycle. If you need me to just let me know.

    Thanks for the info. I actually noticed the same thing. There seems to be a slight latency before the fan kicks on. Mine does the same thing. Not sure if it was fine all the time or if it helped to pull out the relay and resnug it back in. Could be that I just didn't wait long enough last night.

    If you get a chance to notice if the fan cycles off with the compressor, it would be helpful. I'll do the same and report back too.

    Appreciate your time!

    Happy VX'ing!

    ..

    do as I did and install a second larger "auxillary fan" beside the stock electric fan

    run it to a switch..then when you are running hot turn it on at will.
