I am trying to verify the part number on the Aux Fax Relay that triggers the fans on and off. Am I correct it is the double block relay behind the fuse box with part number 001 542 82 19? Everything else seems to work in the circuit to trigger the fans on this car.

The relay in question is a double transformer bimetal and the "low trigger" looks fried. Is this the relay or is this lack of sleep finally catching up with me?

Oops, this is on the 93 500E

Thanks

I need a Twelve Step Program...or a Twelve Car Garage!

That part number is the aux fan relay on 1992-95 V-8 MB's.

Also look at the aux fan basllast resistor..many times the lead wire gets TOO hot & will melt.

I was able to fix the wire twice. After the second time the resistor itself somehow went south. Not sure how, since it's just a big ole spring, but my ohm meter said otherwise.

(it's behind the drivers side headlight against the bottom of wheel well arch.)
