Dave,

On my car (1983, ceramic fuses), the AC relay triggers the high-speed fan.
But, being in your place, I would do it so the medium speed is triggered by
the AC, just to lower the noise level. I guess the current draw is the
same, no matter the speed, because of the resistors being added in series
with the motor.

Maybe Audi changed the wiring for North-America because of the high temps
of the Sun belt ?

HTH,

Louis-Alain
