This modification adds only the relay coil current load (minuscule). You still have the load from the fan, and clutch coil in the stock system, but through the factory fuses. This mod also removes the load from the already overloaded fuse #8 (W123 chassis).
Edit: As far as making your own relay using stock parts and wiring, go for it! I wish I could make these using stock parts, so they would look like they were there from the factory, but it would not be cost effective for me. It already takes more time to build these than I am being paid for by selling them. I just do it as a service, even though I don't make a profit.
