The diode is what makes the fan come on with the A/C, not the reverse. If the diode is bad, the compressor will engage but the cooling fans will stay off until turned on by the otterstat. Did you jump the switch on the accumulator bottle?

The complete AC system is less than 1 year old hopefully freon has'nt leaked out.. What about the diodes in the fuse compartment as shown in the wiring diagram?
