Mike, Check the hot/cold air lever on the dash. Slide it back and forth. If  
it moves really easy (loose), pull the three levers off, full the fan knob  
off, and take the plate off. You'll need a flashlight, but look in the open  
space to the left and down. There is a micro switch that is activated when you  
slide the lever to the left (cold air and/or AC). This micro switch turns the  
rad fan on to high speed. The problem I had was the arm behind the panel  that 
was pressing on the switch popped of the lever and stayed on the switch. I  
thought something was weird when I had heat and AC at the same time. Also the  
original ceramic 20amp fuse (location 15)looked kinda overheated so I put one 
of  the newer glass 20amp fuses in it's place but they kept blowing so I ended 
up  using the 20 year old fuse. The High speed fan draws allot of amps 
through  the wiring and fuse box, so I ran a wire direct from the battery and pulled 
the  wire for that fuse (15) out of the fuse box and it now has its own 
separate  fuse. I can reach under the dash and touch the fuse, and still notice 
that it  gets very warm when I use the AC. I even attached a heat sink to the AC 
relay (  the center relay up above the glove box) to try and keep things  cool.
