    are you sitting around idling? no air flow through the system. fan will run more then mormal.

    driving in the south where the temps are 100 PLUS. fan will run more then normal.

    i kick my fan on FULL TIME when the temp hits 95. a/c works better when it's that hot.

    you said you replaced your condensor. which means you had a problem for whatever and the fan wasn't working like it should.

    now you've got the problem fixed and the fan is kicking on more then usual. becuase your not used to being on so much.

    your system is working exactly the way it's supposed too. so get used to it.

    don't go screwing with something that isn't broken. loosing your cold air WON'T make you happy. becuase you THINK something is wrong.

    Fone keyboards....grrr
    I had AC work done last summer
    Engine fan ran too much afterwards. Turned out that the condenser and cac were partially clogged with dust. Cleaned them out and all was good. Fan running too much is NOT normal, just like condenser fans on a semi truck.....

    depends on what you consider too miuch.

    one persons too much is another persons normal.

    my too much doesn't kick in till it hits 95 plus outside. or i flip the switch to keep it on.

    course, if it bothered me. i could always just turn the a/c off. but i don't see that happening till winter time.

    Also make sure your heater valve is completely turned off and is not leaking internally.
