A/C fan conumdrum
hi all,
I hope someone can help me with this mess.
car:
Honda Accord 1990 DX
Since I got this car the condenser fan has been disconnected. At the beginning it was directly connected to the wiper current intake so it ran as soon as I put my key in. Needless to say , I burned 2 fans. I got a new radiator wit both fans, but I don;t want to burn a third fan. I am putting some pictures
picture one is straight from the manual of honda accord 1990

I marked the items with number so they can be identified in the real pictures
picture 2...my car:

so the compressor clutch relay, the diode and the condenser fan relay are present...at least physically
picture 3 is interesting

number 2 shows the pressure switch connector. next to the stick used to hold the hood open, there is a relay? attached to the front.. this was always there it has four cables going into it. I cannot find this relay in picture 1(the wiring for the AC system by honda manual). In yellow crosses I show two open cables they had tape on them when I got the car. I tested both opened cables for voltage, i got no reading. I wonder if the condenser fan should be connected to those cables?
Does anyone know if honda built in USA came with a different wiring? or is this a rewiring of the original wiring for the AC system?
I have been using the AC without condenser fan without problem, Temperature hasn't risen so far while driving with AC on , even with the fan off.
Any help will be appreciated... I am trying to put this princess all together.

hi hondadude,
I have the schematic too, and that relay I am showing is not in the schematic...I was praying for someone to tell me what the hell it is...I read somewhere else some old alarm has a relay around the same area...but who knows! nad there is that blue wire open////
My best guess is to take it to a A/C place
