I'm hoping listees can point me in the right direction.  Earlier this year I
had some repair work done to the front of my van.  When inspecting the
finished repairs, I noticed that the cooling fins on what I presume to be
the a/c radiator (the frontmost one)were damaged.  Whether from the accident
or during the repair work, I don't know.  Now, I notice that the auxiliary
cooling fan kicks in much earlier than usual, and during a long, hot road
trip recently when the auxiliary fan kicked in at high speed, the air
conditioning started blowing warm air.  When the fan dropped down a speed,
the a/c worked again.
I'm thinking that the radiator (or whatever you call it) should have been
replaced.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
