[W126 Coupe] Phoenix Relay Set-Up

If anyone is interested,

I have photos and mapped the hook-up needed for a Denso compressor to
always run the aux fan circuit so long as AC is selected. I'm doing the
write-up this weekend for Jonathan and sending him the relay I use for
this purpose as a thank you for all his techy and parts support. This
is my third hot weather set-up of this kind. It was originally
prescribed by Stu Ritter and I have just given it the nick-name Phoenix
because it's always steammy there in the summer months.

Amazingly, the coolant temp never leaves the top of the 80C indicator on
these M103 motors with this set-up and this naturally assumes all other
components are in good service order like visco, tstat, radiator, water
pump, belt tension and so on.

Take care and stay cool.

Dick
