This is a Renegade 914 with a small block chevy. Aluminum radiator with dual fans up front that automatically engages with a temp sensor. There are two relays on the fan shroud but when the temp sensor kicks, both fans come on.
So, with that information, I also have a A/C unit that is a popular unit sold for hotrods and other custom applications. It mounts pretty nicely under the passenger side and the install was pretty straight forward. What I just learned though.... the A/C unit will never work properly while I'm filling and testing in my garage and I don't reach fan kick on temp of 195 degrees. My question is this. I need to hook my compressor power wire additionally to my fans so regardless of what temp the car is at, when the A/C is flipped on, the fans turn. on. I'm worried though because what would happen if I had the A/C on with temp below 195 and fans a blazing, then temp rises and hits 195 and gets the signal from the temp sensor to turn on? Seems like a fairly simple circuit but do you think I would need another relay from the A/C compressor power wire? I'm struggling with this and bet someone has been down this road and could maybe help me out. Thanks, Dave |
