Re: [DML] AC and fanzilla question

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

The clicking you hear coming from the electrical compartment is more than
likely the cooling fan relay which is engaging whenever the AC compressor
cycles; this is normal. If the clicking duration is less than 7 seconds you
are low on freon.

There are many choices for improving the cooling fan operation; based on our
17 years of servicing DeLoreans I recommend the following. Make sure that
you have both updated circuit breakers for the cooling fans and AC blower
and install the Fanzilla. The Fanzilla feature of sequential operation of
the cooling fans is the key to over coming the power loss you describe
whenever the AC compressor kicks in. We have installed hundred's of these
units with no failures.
