The condenser fan on my 91Q started to run continuosly. It came on when the ignition was on and when the engine was running, even when cold. I pulled the 25 amp fuse to temporarily fix the problem. According to the service manual flow chart, I probably have a bad thermoswitch. Do I have to fix the switch or can I just go without the condenser fan, since I rarely use the A/C anyway?Thanks.

The condenser fan is also there as a safety to avoid engine overheats besides dealing with AC over pressures problems.
