The scan I did showed a fan fault for the AC. The fault could be in the control circuit for the fan. The DME will command the fan to spin at the beginning and stop supplying power to the fan. When a DC motor is spinning it acts like a generator so it will send a voltage back to the DME. Once the DME sees the voltage it can assume that the fan is spinning and is o.k.

The compressor was not clicking on when you where at my place. The static pressure for the low side was over 100 psi.

When I had the problem my scan showed a fan fault, and it did blow the 50 amp fuse so I definitely knew it was the fan.
