Does anyone know what would cause a condenser ran relay to go bad? I replaced one and a year later its bad again. Nick 7252 _______________________________________________

Good morning Nick. Aside from the possibility you got a bad relay, the only other thing I can come up with is the fact that the condenser fan fights the ambient air pressure gradient when these cars are cruising at speed. Folks have commented in the past that the air-flow through the condenser (with the fan going) deadheads around 80 mph. My work with pressure gauges and anemometers confirmed this observation. Easiest way to reduce strain on the fan (and the current it draws) is to reverse the wires going to the fan. Hope this makes sense and perhaps helps.

Is it a stock relay or a modern replacement? Stock location, inside the cabin? Stock fan? I don't have any answers but more info might help the electrically smart people come up with the answer?
