The same main A/C relay contact used for the middle speed pressure
switch and middle speed relay control also provides the direct power for
the radiator fan on low speed through the resistor when A/C is on.

Bentley page 97.144 current track 21 which feeds to track 36 on 97.145
which connects to radiator low speed resistor pin 2, same as the rad
temp switch low speed does.

For the AC when the compressor is on a relay connects to the low speed circuit with the fan resistor. At high head pressure the pressure switch operates a relay in the fuse box adding the 2nd circuit of that fan resistor. That also stays active even after shutting off the AC or ignition. Note the radiator fan switch actually feeds the motor during the cooling first stage. Why this switch fails so often.
