the pcm detects the a/c is on from the pressure switch the pcm detects a rise in pressure then activates the fans so if the a/c clutch or relay is going bad it would cause the fans to stop shortly after the clutch disengages,I think they do it this way because in below freezing weather the refrigerant pressure will be below 28 PSI resting pressure so it wont activate the AC because of ac oil flow most likely for compressor life,before computers monitoring the ac pressure this was not the case they had the AC relay directly activating the fan relays like on my 2005 and 2006 the engine can be off with key forward and if I turn the ac on the fans come on and ac off the fans shut off , because resting ac pressure is close to ambient temperature numbers so at 28 psi resting pressure 32F resting temperature and lower numbers the AC compressor wont turn on so try the clutch relay first ,if you can get a test light on the wire going to the clutch that would tell if it is cutting power or the clutch is bad,but I have seen especially on Honda A/C clutch relay intermittently work,not sure where the spraying water would relate to the relay but I suspect the relay or clutch ,the pdf below explains the circuit of the ac relay and fans,an obd2 tool like the ap200 will read HVAC data to know if the PCM is commanding the clutch relay or not because the evaporator temp sensor could be bad also, I didnt think of that until just reading it ,did you swap the AC relay with the rear defrost or horn?be very careful if you are jumping terminals at the relay socket because positive power back to the PCM ground can damage the PCM driver transisor
