Hey Alex. Thanks for the response.
Yes I know there is a delay, except for defrost mode, and my car seem to 
work fine (with the delay) when I first start it up, however when I shut 
the engine off, the fan will not come back up for a very long time, which 
means for shorter trips around town it doesn't work at all. It doesn't seem 
to be affected by bumps either. I am wondering if the sensor that makes the 
delay is what is broken.
