[Shotimes] A/C Fuse?

Ehm, the radiator fan and a/c fan are the same fan. Yes, they are "tied".
When the a/c is on, the radiator fan will run at it's highest speed
regardless of vehicle operation. Sounds like you lost the high-speed
operation of your fan. Bad wiring from the relay to the fan, the high-speed
relay, or the high-speed windings in the fan itself are the culprit 99% of
the time. This is how it is for 99% of vehicle that have one radiator fan.
Someone pipe in if the earlier SHO's used the resistor or transistor trick
for speed variation rather than two motor windings.
