Old fan had to be replaced as one of the blades broke. I purchased a TYC Dual Radiator and Condenser fan. I remember with the old fan when I put the AC on the cooling fan would run continually and would shut off when air was turned off. At least that's what I thought happened. At any rate after putting in the new fan when I turn on the air the fan will come on after about 10 seconds and turn at high speed for about 10 seconds, shut down for 10 seconds, turn back on for 10 seconds, and just keeps repeating this cycle. Could this be normal or dose this on and off indicate there is a problem. Any comments would be appreciated.
