AC fan on 89 Accord
So far so good on my head gasket replacement. In the process I discovered
that my PCV valve was shot and plugged up. After replacing that and the head
gasket, I'm not using or leaking oil any where near as much.
I disconnected and removed the AC compressor, since it didn't even have a
clutch on it. Don't really need it anyway. I was thinking that I read
somewhere that the AC fan is supposed to come on after the engine is shut
off, to cool the radiator down. Is that true and is that only if the AC
happens to be on at the time and if the engine is hot ? Or did I just dream
that? Anywhooo ... I was wondering if it could be coupled with the regular
fan and have extra cooling ... or would that be too much current draw on the
circuit ? I suppose one could use a toggle switch and a solenoid to make it
manual. It would be nice to have extra air flowing through the radiator for
those occasional, long, slow, steep climbs up a mountain road on a hot day.
Any thoughts on that?
