Usually, when the A/C compressor kicks on, one of the two fans will kick on continuous while the compressor is running. This ensures airflow over the A/C condenser, which helps everything to work properly. I doubt you are going to mess something up worse than what it is already. It's your choice to either figure out what's going on with it, or to try and be the A/C compressor manual switch guy. It'll work, but you really don't know how well until you burn the new compressor out. | |

There is a "COOLING FAN 1" and "COOLING FAN2" in the fuse box. I've been researching, but can't seem to find anything useful. Rather than messing anything up further, I'd almost rather just wire a toggle switch through the ground wire. | |
