[DML] Re: Re-wire of fan relay for A/C "ON" condition

["Harold" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

Your electrical engineer non-colorblind friend should be able to check the wiring if you have the wiring diagram. My guess is - the diode set up at the AC fan clutch connections are not correct - or absent. They are in the area to the right of the fuse box as look down on the box.
