Subject:A/C Engine Fan Vibration
From:Ray Reinhard

Hi all,

We have had our van since 1990.  Over the years, I have invested a small
fortune (I'm ashamed to admit how much) in trying to get the A/C to work
properly.  On my most recent trip to the A/C repair shop, they determined
that the front engine fan had never been wired in to work w/ the A/C
unit.  (Apparently, it took them 12 years to figure this out!)

The good news is that the unit now seems to be working properly, and the
temperature control (circular switch surrounding fan switch) actually does
something for the first time since we've had the van.  Specifically, it
regulates the frequency with which the engine fan and compressor turn
on.  The bad news is that, when the front engine fan and compressor turn
on, the dashboard and pedals vibrate like one of those "Magic Fingers" beds.

Any suggestions on how to dampen the vibration would be much appreciated!
