Another possibility, which should have been one of the first things
mentioned....
There is a big (green) resistor behind your drivers side headlight.
This resistor does tend to wear out.

The resistor is part of the speed control of the radiator fan. Your
radiator fan should come on (at low speed) as soon as your AC is
turned on. If it doesn't, this resistor could be the culprit. You
only kick in the high speed when there is insufficient cooling (high
speed bypasses the resistor).
