Thanks for all the replys. I still have not cleaned the electronics, but I think it will certainly help with the battery when I do. Either way, I charged up the a/c system with some freeze-12 I had laying around from when I worked at Garcia Alfa Racing. We could not find my a/c thermometer, but it really blows cold! This will help me out, but it will add heat that has to be rejected by the cooling system. I guess I am not helping things out...

The cooling system was completely refreshed when I got the car a couple of years ago. New water pump, rodded out radiator, all new hoses (except to heater core, I am really asking for trouble here.), new thermostat, all belts, and fresh coolant. I replaced the fan with a standard US spec about a year ago when I replaced the motor mounts.

There has been a new development. I have been driving the car all weekend and the electric fan has worked "properly." It only runs a short while or not at all. I think it is possible the relay was sticking from not being worked all winter and is now ready to do its thing after a little early summer workout. We shall see.

I will clean up the connections whenever I get around to it or get stranded. If the heat becomes an issue I will add some water-wetter. Other than that I am not so worried about it now. Besides, having cold air could add a whole new level of problems....

Rev High,
