I believe you will find that the feed to the A/C compressor has been
linked to the fan motor so that the motor comes on at the same time as
the compressor. However this wire also works the other way, so that the
fan feeds the compressor. You need to modify the compressor feed to
supply the radiator fan via a relay so that the back feed doesnt happen.
Hope this helps
