still problems with cooling

[Christian Williams <delorean@xxxx>]

As I sit here in San Jose in a house with no air conditioning, I can't
truely feel my DeLorean's pain. :)

Since my last post about cooling, my car started acting normal again, so
I thought that the overheating might have just been a fluke. I jumpered
the otterstat and took it out for a drive today. After just 20 minutes or
so, the needle was up to the 220 mark, and wasn't slowing down. When I got
home and shut off the car, I realized that the cooling fans were not
running at all. They were running when I had first turned the car on (with
the AC off), so I know I jumped the otterstat correctly.

I backed out of the garage with the door open when I heard a loud click
from the relay compartment and then the cooling fans came on. With the
otterstat jumped, the fans should have been on the entire time. Prior to
jumping the otterstat, I've heard this loud click from the relay
compartment before. It was in standstill traffic on the highway in
extremely hot weather. I wasn't listening for fans back then, so I don't
know if they came on after the click. Also prior to jumping the otterstat,
the fans did not come on automatically when I turned the AC on.

Any idea on what could be clicking and controlling the fans?

Happy fourth to everyone!
