Hi there are 2 temperature switches for the auxiliary fan (not the visco fan that cools the engine) but the one in front of the radiator so far I have located the temperature switch that goes for the AC dehydrator or so, that's 60c but I cant locate the other 100c temperature switch can anyone please tell me where the other temperature switch is located the manual say "coolant water temperature" or something from what I can remember also I am trying to purchase a AC fan and I need some help with A picture if that's possible because mine got damaged so there isn't much to photograph so if anyone could just post one front view picture of the fan on the car that would be appreciated thanks

You only have that switch if your car is a 1978-1980 300SD.

You should probably post the year and model of the car in question.

On the w123 models, there is one fan, bolted to the front of the radiator. It is just a fan, and whatever turns it on is not included in the circuitry.

Prices range from over $400 to around $70 delivered, though you should be able to find one at a junkyard, All you need to test it are a couple of sets of alligator clips and a battery or source of 12V DC current.

The cheaper one will be made in Taiwan or maybe China, but I do not think that this is such a highly technical part that the extra $200-$300 cost of a Euro-made part is warranted. Electric motors last a long, long time, and when they are undamaged, usually lubrication or new brushes will restore them to life.

If you can get the part number, google that.

The fan itself will fit any w123, but the surround might have bolt holes in different places and require a bit of drilling, or inserting in the proper frame.
