Yes, I did do the switch on the filter/dryer. The condenser is in front of the radiator. When I first looked at the switch I was not sure if it was a high or low pressure switch. The book referred to it as low cut off switch and I tested it in both shorted and open. Really don't want to put 3 lbs of r12 in the system to find I have to take it apart later. I own 2 recovery units, but you still loose some r12 in the process. I am trying to locate the fail failure monitor. Not sure where it is in the car. On the Elite all the fans come on when the a/c is working. I see the center fan only works with the a/c, but from what I saw on the drawing it looked like all 3 fans ran for the cooling.
It is hard to get to the otter switch to manually kick the fans on.

the fans normally only come on at about 95 - unless you have the AC on (and working). without the AC the center one will never come on. you can test the fans seperately by running a wire from a good 12V+ and try to energize each fan one-by-one, then start working backwards....
