I had a overheating problem, my central fan was barely turning. So I bought a fan clutch for the car ( mercedes 190E 2.3L yr 1987) but after taking out the fan blade I could not find a spot to put the fan clutch.Where the fan clutch is located?
One thing is the magnet plate w/t the fan blade was worm out, so I bend it so it can stick to the motor. Therefore the central fan is turning constantly.
Is that ok ?
The second thing is I keep blowing off a fuse that protect the aux fan and tachtometer. Is the problem electrical or do I need to replace the aux fan too?can someone explain to me its role and how it works? I took a look and it seems worn out.
third how do I find the engine number and chassis? mine is an automatic trans
Hit me back please I am losing my mind.

Where are you?

I'm guessing that you are blowing fuse 10. If so replace the thermo switch, it's definitely shorted.

Or for a quick fix, to keep from blowing the fuse, since you've locked the fan armature to the clutch, just keep the thermoswitch unplugged.

The clutch is behind the pulley. You need to remove the pulley to get the clutch. Should just unbolt.
