About 10 minutes after breaking clear of traffic and pulling off the highway the fireworks show began. I guess as k9dbm mentions it might be the AC pump (so that's another device that has a clutch I didn't know about).
p.s.
Can you rig the fans to turn on without turning on the AC? |
If you have a durametric connected, you can manually turn the fans on
