Mike,
     Not sure what you mean by fan working normally.
95 is hot and I was surprised that in this heat wave
we had in sf bay area that running my AC switch on
with the compressor off because the high presssure
safty kicked in actually caused the temp gauge to be
lower than it's normal operating temperature.   Of
course the 450 watt fan was running at 450 watts to do
this.   This suggested to me that the temp sensor in
the front for the fan relay has a bit of a disonnect
or offset with the sensor in the rear that is
connected to the gauge we all focus on.   Needless to
say the inside temperature was ugly until the ac would
kick on from time to time.    gary
