Subject:3rd stage cooling fan relay (for a/c)
From:Damian Shaw
Date:Tue, 17 Apr 2001 14:50:56 -0600

Hi all;

The 90 westy a/c retrofit into my 87 continues; here's another question:

For Digifant Vanagons (and probably others) there is a 3rd stage cooling
fan relay used with the a/c system.  (Vans without a/c don't have
this).  Does anyone know what this relay is rated at?  I have one with
the exact same pinout from an 82 Quantum's a/c system that I'd like to
use but it's rated at 40amps.  What is the Vanagon's rated at?  I know
most of its fuses in that circuit are 50 amp fuses but would VW have
made one of these relays rated at 50amps?

Thanks for any help you can provide;

Damian
