Take a look at post number two by Qmulus in the below thread. I have considering doing this numerous times..... if I could only identify where to "In a convenient place cut the yellow/gray wire from DME to the high speed fan relays".

If you are looking for more "fan power" why not jumper the low speed relay wires with the high speed relay? in that case, the fans will always kick in on high.

Has anyone considered the OBDII connector and sending the right signal to the computer.

The Durametric units can turn the fans on and off and set the fan speed. Perhaps this is another OBDII Arduino Hack candidate.

So doing this would negate the need for installing manual switches as triggering the Ac on will now put the fans on high right of the bat? I can't picture the jumper arrangement as yet or downsides......it's late though!
