Now I know.
As far as the fans, I could use a 30 amp relay and tie the coil voltage for that relay
to the hot compressor wire and feed the fans from straight B+ voltage across that relay

Re: Forgot more than I know
both fans kick in and run full tilt and then cycle off and on. when im using the 24" fan, they dont kick on until I run the rpm up for extended periods of time. the better or worse operation of the ac / vent temps are chasing around with the ambient. I may have it over charged . can I take a te...

Re: Forgot more than I know

Re: Forgot more than I know

I just want to get a look at it to see if its got a bunch of crap on it causing a restriction. it would be crazy to go to the trouble of getting it out and not just replacing it. its not an easy access place. there will be some cu...

I just took it out for a drive and I can feel the temp from the vent relating to the compressor shutting off and then back on in light to light traffic and hard ...
