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!
