[DeTomaso] Condenser relay

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

In general the death of a relay is caused by
1) cycling
2) over current

So having the relay heavy enough to carry the fan current is needed (I would
prefer X2) BUT if it is cycled (on/off) with due to the AC thermostat, it
will kill a relay.

I haven't thought any at all about this circuit (and possible upgrades) but
first look and I am thinking remove the condenser fan from the AC de icing
switch.  Letting it run all the time the AC is on is first thought.  Using a
pressure switch on dryer would be investigated (but that is getting more
complicated) KISS

Nick,

More info please. 

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?
