The sensor is definately bad. You can also put a toggle on that circuit until you get the new part, but in that circuit, you want the sw to OPEN for high fan...should be able to get by untiil the parts arrives with the low fan cabin anyway...
Sensor testing chart:
Temp C - Ohms
20 ......... 5-8K
60 ....... 900-180
80 ....... 460-650
100 ...... 300-400
*Approx , as there was a production change on the sensors on that chassis, so use your part#

The local stealerships computers only list the production change variation - and then list a Behr product. The unit I have is a VDO unit - not apparently installed in the Australian versions of the W124 - (mine is a grey Japanese import.)
R12 gas is officially banned in Australia (as in the rest of the "Western world" - still produced and used in many third world places). There are some places where R12 is still available. (I have a line on one of these places). I will see what I can do.
As an aside my car - grey Japanese import should have been converted to R34 as part of its import licensing. (Must have slipped throuigh the radar so to speak)
To order the sensor from Fastlane is unfortunately overly costly from Australia -conversion rates and then expensive postage.
When I recieve the new sensor I will wire and internal switch with 250 ohm resistor in parrallel with it.
Recharge AC
New viscous fan
New blue sensor
