yeah i know where it is.... also the AC clutch is BARELY operating, and i was having a slight problem getting it to fire up (fuel pump?).... doesnt the CCRM control that, too?


well, in any case im going to swap the CCRM from my 94 GT which i KNOW works into my 95 cobra. Would that be compatible??

i know how the mechanical and electrical fans works, thats why i said run a hot wire cause a mechanical fans going to start spining when you first start the car, and he said he turned the a/c on to see if the fan comes on, and elctrical fan is suppose to always come on when the a/c is turned on, cold or hot

the Fox temp guage... is a vertical Scale... spelling Normal from the L up...

sn-95 temp guages are horizontal... spelling normal from starting from N on the left side

If your AC clutch isn't workign correctly then the test with turning on the AC to verify the high speed fan is coming on wont' work.

The function that activates the relay on the CCRM when the AC is turned on is a pressure switch in the AC system. so no pressure = no fan when Max AC is turned on.

Sombody please correct me if I'm wrong because i'm not 100% sure.

Sombody earlier said that if the temp was by the L then it was way low. Whoever said that probably based it off of the Fox Scale vs the SN 95 where L in NORMAL is on the high side.
