Technical issues do generate less controversy but they are not immune to it. I have posts bounce too. Just not so many if you stay strictly technical. Now for your answer. The cooling fans do not cycle on and off when the A/C is running. The strict technical answer is the clutch for the compressor for the A/C is cycled and when the clutch is cycled off the cooling fans MAY cycle off. The otterstdt switch can run the cooling fans too. The clutch circuit for the compressor can override the otterstadt switch and force the fans to run when the A/C clutch is engaged even if the otterstadt switch is no trying to run the fans. Works the other way too. It is an either/or. In some extreme circumstances both could be running the fans. Watch out for the circuit breaker for the fans to cycle them. That should not happen. You will hear it "POP" and the fans will stop. In that case upgrade the circuit breaker. I like the idea of Mark doing some moderation. Then he will see what it is like on "the other side".
