Robert there is a relation between the Rad Fan and the AC. I can't give you the
details, as I haven't studied it that much, but you should find it all in the
Bentley. I do know that the system is wired up in such a way that if the the air
conditioner is "ON" and the temperature reaches a certain level the Rad fan will
turn on. As the temperature continues to rise, the rad fan will go to full high
and the AC will auto matically shut down. This is to relieve the heavy load the
AC puts on the engine, there by making it run harder and create more heat. Your
cutting wires may have distrupeted this system in some way that now the Rad fan
doesn't work.

This soesn't tell you much, I know, but maybe it will give you some ideas to
work with.
