[s-cars] Ac question

[weski at verizon.net]

I had a similar problem 2 weeks ago - secondary fan would not operate.  
Pulled the relay, checked it and continuity on the wires all looked 
good.  Plugged everything back together and it's been working since 
(knock on wood for the Audi gods).  I'll have to look up the relay 
position tonight when I get home from work.
