    Lightbulb Hot and Sweaty *

     



    * (or How to make your a/c work better)

    Dont'cha hate it when the rod gets hot and sticky?
    Yeah, she hates it too
    My gal is cool and happy now that I put in these dual relays
    Fan comes on when the a/c gets switched on...
    Turns on when the temp switch says 'now!'.
    Turns on when you throw the manual override toggle switch.
    She's happy and cool
    (That is until she see's my other pic's on this forum!

    (if anyone has a more simple schematic, let me know..)

    Thanks! That's a great diagram. Should be of use to all with A/C and electric fans. I actually have two fans, one the motor temp kicks on and it pulls, the other comes on with the A/C and it pushes. As a result I have two seperate circuits.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    I was actually advised to do something like that by the crumudgeon a/c guy I buy my stuff from. I just don't have room in front of the condensor to put a push fan. I went with a big pull fan, and wanted to never have to worry if it will work or not. This way I can flip the switch if I know I'll be in a parade or something. I have been runing this setup for almost a year now and it never has overheated, even in Florida summer weather.

    I don't have A/C, I got a slider control bar that says AIR if that counts.
