Default 86 Pusher Fan Question

Should my pusher fan come on as soon as the AC is turned on?
Also pusher fan not working when engine gets hot. Replaced the radiator switch, any suggestions?

cheers

edit; if I jump the relay, 30-87 should the fan start running? because it doesn't. I can however hear a clicking sound in the center console when I jump it.

So the fan never runs in any circumstance then? If the fan doesn't run with the circuit bridged, then I have to wonder whether the fan motor is burned up. Put direct power to it with a battery charger.

Verify the condition of the fuse first.

It should not come on when the AC is turned on, but it should if the radiator temp switch triggers or if the refrigerant temp switch triggers. I'd try powering it directly, as suggested above, to verify the fan motor itself works.
