Re: Cooling Fan and Air conditioning Question

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

A clarifacation on this previous post. The A/C WILL cause the fans to 
run continously ie, as long as the compresser is running the A/C 
circuit will override the otterstadt switch and run the fans. When the 
compressor stops if the otterstadt switch isn't hot enough then the 
fans will stop. (Fanzilla changes this a little.)
