High speed test: short the two wires together in the temperature sensor mounted front top of the head. That sensor has three wires connected, a single pin connector and a two-pin connector. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On July 20, 2015 3:58:33 PM EDT, WILTON via Mercedes

There is also a low speed test, don't remember off the top of my head, but IIRC there is a relay in the back of the fuse box, short the appropriate pins to make the fan run on low speed. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 ___

Low speed switch is on the AC receiver/dryer, I think the ones with the long pigtail (the other is the low pressure switch). With ignition on, shorting the two wires will cause the fan to run at low speed. You can test the fan (sans relays and resistor) by connecting the two leads at the

There is probably a fuse on the low speed relay that often blows. It's in the second half of the fuse box that you have to uncover by removing some screws. At least, this was the case in my 95 124. Jaime On Sunday, August 24, 2014, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote:

The resistor (for low speed) is shot. It's by the receiver/dryer, most likely it's cracked. Common failure. Might just be broken or corroded wires, and it's possible the connection in the fuse box came apart, but not terribly likely. Peter ___

I replaced the one on my 95 but that ended up not being the problem, so that one should be good except I cant find it! On 8/24/2014 1:57 PM, Peter Frederick wrote: The resistor (for low speed) is shot. It's by the receiver/dryer, most likely it's cracked. Common failure. Might just be
