I have a similar issue. I also have a 1995 Ford Contour, with the 6 cyc 2.5 engine. I just had my ac fixed (accumulator and clutch). The ac works perfect. But when it's on one of the fans comes on for 5 seconds then back off for 5 seconds, etc.. And without the ac on it does not do this, and the temp is down between the N and the O sometimes R. Lately when I do use the ac it is getting up to the RAL part. Is this a problem? I figured since I was using the ac and it is warmer up here these days, mid 80's to 90's, so I figured with a combination of hot weather and using the ac it would run a little warmer. i didn't seen anything wrong with it since both fans are working properly. It has never gotten to the red (I'd pull over of course if it did). But is this unusal behavior? For the car to run hotter when using the ac? And for the 5 second fan cycling? Just curious if anyone else had any feedback.
