AC problem

I have a 1996 Dutch Star dp on a spartan chassis. One day while on the road my dash AC quit working. I noticed that the switch to activate the AC on the dash panel had got very hot. The dash fan would still work but no cold air. Then the dash fan also quit working. A 25amp block fuse on the firewall failed so I replaced it. The dash fan would come back on but the compressor didn't turn and the condenser fan did not run. I replaced the condenser fan with a new one and a new thermostat. The compressor turns now but the condenser fan still does not run. The switch on the dash panel still gets very hot. Where should I go from this point to trouble shoot. Could it be the condenser fan relay? I'm not sure where the condenser fan relay is.

I would check th motor for condenser fan, some thing is seized and you will keep blowing the fuse or cause possibly a fire around the switch area.
Can you manually turn the fan maybe some oil on shaft could free it up.
Who is the mfg of your AC/ Heater unit?

The AC unit is an Evans Tempcon unit. There are no markings on the fan. I suspected the old fan was drawing too many amps so I bought a brand new one. It turns real easy.

Here is a link to Evans Temp may have trouble section.
Here is a wiring control diagram.
This information is in Quick Tips.
The relay may be on the Evans unit or near fuse panel.
You need to keep your questions in same thread gets confusing chasing down your problems.
