Newer MB 600 watt electrical fan in a m103
So I am close to having this project completed. I did a test to run the fan on the stock connectors and I need to beef everything up. I'm thinking of wiring it up on it's own circuit and just attaching it to the temp switch. Does anyone happen to have a wiring diagram for the fan for a w203 or I guess any of the models that have the Temic fan controller?

Not cheap but installation looks easy - https://www.amazon.com/Derale-16795-PWM-Fan-Controller/dp/B00N0N75TI
How about a simpler Volvo two-relay controller with low speed for AC (existing aux fan trigger) and high speed over a coolant setpoint? Is your alternator up for an extra 20 amps while idling? Sixto 98 E320s sedan and wagon 02 C320 wagon |

So just do that. It's not complicated.

Volvo 240 owners use the switch from a Saab 900, that's installed by cutting the upper coolant hose. Some Jaguar XJ owners use the same switch. |
That specific fan isn't easy to control. It has 8 speeds and is controlled by a 3volt plusewidth signal. 10% PWM = off, 20% = first speed, 30% 2nd speed, ect until 90% =100 % fan speed.
I built this fan into a 124 fan shroud and use my PCS trans controller to provide the PWM signal v/s coolant temp. It works really, really well. The temp needle never uncovers the top of the 8 on the 80C marking. Buying a PWM standalone fan controller would be worth it to use the 600W fan. The viscous fan clutch setup on these cars is absolute crap. |

Grab the starter relay from an old Ford truck.
From what little I remember, p = i^2 r = v i. 600 Watts / 12V = 50 amps so your fuse experiment is right. Better get a 60 amp fuse in case the alternator can’t keep up on a hot day. Bulk quality wire is available from any MB with the battery in the trunk or under the rear seat. The W140 has a variety of lengths with terminals from the distribution center in the passenger footwell. Sixto 98 E320s sedan and wagon 02 C320 wagon |
I've been wanting to do this for a while and have been researching the options. The following thread has some good info:
Monster electric cooling fan upgrade. long. w/photos. | Moparts Question and Answer | Moparts Forums And there has been a controller made for this fan: http://ma-uav.com/FanControllerv3.html.

I may be the first person that has fitted the newer my fan to a m103 engine. I will post pictures later.

Another iteration of the electric fan install on your 190E? I'm also still working on increasing cooling capacity, adding an oil cooler (stock 190D 2.5/300D 2.5) and trans cooler (Sienna) on my mom's car before I figure out something for mine.
