ok, now i'm confused. i took both relays out, the cooling fan relay, and the air condx relay. after checking clarks garage, it would appear that both relays should be the same electrically, as they have the same pin connections, but they dont. the air condx relay, seems to be a "multi-use" relay, for several applications, and the connector #'s dont match whats in clarks! looks like one side of the relay contacts is well burned up, so thats one problem, and also #3 fuse, additional board had gone south too.
so, i'm ordering a whole bunch of relays, and thermo switch, and the friendy sparks at work, is going to check/repair my coling fan resistor, as needed.
as far as i can see {bearing in mind i'm electrically-challenged), it looks like 2 cooling fan relays are required, as the diagram shows two sets of contacts, needed at each relay!
