Re: 89 audi 100, fan problems
Because I feel that the relays are the problem I do not see a reason to unplug
the switch. The switch is used to activate the relays which then power the fan
so unplugging the switch will not have any effect if my theory is right.
I would look to the relays first and you can check them with the battery hooked up.
If you still want to unplug the switch you should disconnect the battery first
because it is located within inches of the fan and you do not want to be
anywhere near that when it is running.

What will that tell you? If you pull the relay and the fan stops you're
no wiser. It could still be the switch, as the fan won't run without the
relay it'd have stopped anyway.
If the OP were confident enough they could poke about with a meter but
they don't come across as the sort that would do that.

Re: 89 audi 100, fan problems
I was guessing that he would replace the relay with a known good one. Still,
your point is correct. I would, however, not recommend unplugging the switch
with the fan running.
Agree on the second point as well.
