94pt 'cool o matic' gally exhaust fan

[Gregory OConnor]

Kool o matic fan fuse on 94pt is
front overhead component panel circuit block A "sk5"
above driver ,in cabinet block close to street side,

to turn on the fan you need to play wit the center thermostat
try puttining one switch to cool and the fan on auto with the
thermostat on a low temp setting. to have it run on auto you need to
pick cool I guess it keeps from exhaustinng generated heat.
