    The AC condenser fan wasn't working on my '95 348 Spider so I checked the fuse. However, contrary to the 348 Workshop Manual and 348 Spider Technical Manual, my Spider has two fuses and two relays for the AC condenser in the fuse box Below are photos of the label from the underside of the access panel cover showing separate fuses for the R.H. AC Condenser and the L.H. AC Condenser and separate relays labeled similarly. Are there two separate A.C. Condenser fans? The Parts Catalogue for the Spider shows only one fan as does Ricambi. One of the two fuses was blown and hopefully that's the problem but I'm perplexed why there are two of everything. Also, is there a later wiring diagram which I can download somewhere? Thanks! Roger

    My best guess is the transition to 355 which the 348 Spider shares some cues with. I had a late production 95 spider and currently have a 96 355, the fuse panels were similar.

    Seems that the LH Condenser relay and fuse were always there (the 1989 348 manual also shows them and I have them on my 1991 348), possibly because the original concept was to have two condensers but the LH one was later dropped.
