Be careful, they changed the climate control in 90 as far as the aux fan control goes. These are all in the "right" connector. The "left" connector is the same across the W124 range.

Pre 90, the CCU gets a binary signal from the head sensor that shuts down AC at excess temperature. Another switch in that same sensor goes to the aux fan relays.

90 and after, the CCU gets an analog signal from a thermistor sensor in the head. It does the overheat decision and also triggers the fan relay.

The wiring diagram you need can be found at w124-zone.com, you'll have to register but it's free.

i will check that out! i went by the 2nd pic tjts1 posted and i think i had 2 wires left over that were different colors but put them in the remaing spots by by the wire length and creases in the wire from the connector "cap". everything seems to work well! i do have some vac leaks to sort though. i bypassed the by using an ice cube relay for testing and found the pin that goes to the compressor clutch is in the wrong spot so ill try to find the colored diagram for that as well.
