Thanks! After I posted, I had to rebuild the control box, because the lube on the buttons had dried up.

How are you controlling the condensor fan? Right now, I have it wired to come on any time the AC is turned on. Stock, it was made to go through a "thermo switch" located in the bottom radiator hose on the KA. Something like 180F turn on.

I have twin electric cooling fans and an aftermarket thermo switch to control it via a new relay. That relay is good for 25 amps, and the engine fans are drawing 15. So I think the condensor fan will draw too much for the relay.

What's the fix? Install stock in-line thermo switch, install second relay, or just leave it shorted to run when ever AC is on?
