Electric fans and A/C
Was just wondering how having a radiator with electric fans effects the operation of the A/C system. With the regular fan there is always some air being drawn through the condensor, so will having no air at times effect the operation of the A/C so much that it will not work?

Electric fans must be on full bore when a/c is requested....one way or another...mine is controlled by the a/c request signal off my console into the FI computer which turns on the fans same as if it was by engine temp request....
if you don't have FI, you maybe into a another relay so when you request a/c, it closes/grounds your actual power relay coil for the fan to turn on.....OR you can just run a parallel power relay that runs off the compressor coil power, closes and runs like the temp relay...either way you got another relay involved....

Does that make sense?
