Todd and Tim,
             that is the one relay I did not pull.
I will try that next.  big relay and hard to reach.
New one is much shorter.
       thanks for your agreement   gary

    I think on my '88 when you turn the A/C on it
automagically turns thefan on HIGH speed.
If I recall, the relay is ABOVE the fuse box.

waslocated in the fuse box???   When I look there
andpull the relays one at a time the fan stays
on?There is an open slot for the new relay for
busdepotbut the fan comes on and off without that slot
filled.So is there a relay somewhere else?   The wires
lookbig enough at the sensor switch to suggest that
thereis no need for a relay.   Perhaps the relay is
justfor the medium ac speed?   Can someone clarify
this.                thanks
