I suspected the auxiliary engine cooling fan was not working. I just proved this thought to be correct. I changed the relay (with a second used relay - in front of the washer fluid reservoir) and the fan was still inoperable. At this stage of involvement I was thinking dirty connections, poor ground, etc. Although the relay could be bad.
I recalled the auxiliary fan always rotates when the AC is turned on so I engaged the AC. The auxiliary fan did not move, yet I know it worked with the AC last summer. I repeated this a few more times to be sure then I noticed my compressor clutch was not engaging.
Now it appears I have a larger system issue. Unfortunately, I will be educating myself on these systems with this set of problems.
If anyone can offer me assistance with these issues I greatly appreciate it.
