My buddies 92 does not do this, mine does. Whenever my heater/ defroster is on the e-fan comes on. I understand the compressor will cycle, but the fan? seems like this isnt need in the winter.

Just wondering Thanks!!

Defrost uses the A/C system. Whenever the A/C compressor kicks-in the e-fan is supposed to cycle.

Defrost consists of ALL heat settings correct?
Aka anytime i put the selector **** anywhere other than (Off). If its on just plain heater like, dash blowing...It will come on Right?

Not that it hurts anything, Just wondering

The DEFROST position on the selector has a direct tie-in to the A/C system since it wants dried air blown at the windshield. Any other selection (other than A/C positions) should not activate the A/C system, because no other selection asks for the air-drying function provided by the A/C. If you select HEAT then the venting of heat provides for some blow-by to/through the defroster vents (but only a little) without the use of the A/C system. Any other behavior, beyond this description, is the result of a defect/failure.
