* AC on a dedicated circuit outside of PCM. Single standalone relay
* FAN#1 would be PCM controlled and tied to my single speed main radiator fan.

If I tried to use two relays for the AC/condensor fan (to split like you mentioned ) ... I'd like to use FAN#2 relay .... as otherwise its just sitting there unused. But hard to know how they set it up without tearing it all apart which I will probably do.

All they say is
"Two Fan Relays, an A/C Compressor Relay, and an Ignition Relay"

<update>

I jumped on the webiste chat room and the guy said ...

"They are parallel. They are not in series."

So I guess that means I could use it ........ except ground would only activate when fan temp reached whatever point I set in PCM ?

your explanations are finally getting through to me haha.

i will say people think fans need to come on more than they should, on my last e fan I used a set point of 200 degrees, because my thermostat was 190 and a set point below that would have just cycled the fan and thermostat mercilessly. so i wouldnt really worry about a higher set point myself.
