...why?
Unbeknownst to me the radiator fan in my Alfetta GT has not been working (I've found the problem), but this a.m. I had by far the best A/C there has ever been in the car (it came with A./C). Temp outside was about 85, so certainly not a scorcher, but I was actually a bit chilly.
Why would this be with the only variable being the radiator fan wasn't working, though the A/C push fan was working?
I have a freshly rebuilt heavy duty alternator in the Alfetta but I can't believe the additional amp draw of the radiator fan would make the slightest difference in any event.
To get home I jumpered the two wires going to the thermostatic fan switch on the radiator and was back to anemic A/C cooling and water temp was fine.
I'm pretty sure the switch I installed on the dryer is for high cut-off only.
If you haven't figured it out, I really, really want that cold of an A/C and I suppose I should fix the radiator fan situation. Sigh.
