Charlie,
The power to the fan is always hot to the relay. The relay control power is switched. It sounds like your relay contacts may be stuck or welded. I would try rapping on the relay to see if it will shake loose. Sounds like time to replace the relay
.Good luck.

 Subject: [DeTomaso] A/C fan question
   
   The car ran fantastic all weekend. Perhaps the best it has ever run,
   knock on wood. This of course means it will all self-destruct next
   month pulling out of our driveway to attend Le Mans, but let's hope
   not.


   I do have one problem. The A/C worked fine. But when I pulled into the
   garage after the 4 hour drive home, the condenser fan kept running,
   even when I turned the car off and removed the key.


   Wondering if the circuit was always hot and it would shut itself off
   once the car cooled down I disconnected the battery and reconnected it
   today after coming home from work. The fan starts up as soon as I
   connect the battery.


   1) Is the condenser fan always hot? Kind of surprising if it is

   2) My A/C has worked for very little of my
 ownership so I'm kind of a
   rookie regarding troubleshooting. Where do I begin to look to see
   what's happening? What has shorted out or what has broken if the fan
   never shuts off?

   3) I don't have access to the Fuse List for a Factory GT5-S - if I
   can't find the problem before Le Mans and I want to disable the fan,
   which fuse is it, and what shares that circuit if anything?


   Thanks!
