Sounds like a bad regulator to me. They're basicly a heavy duty FET. They can fail so that they will show voltage at the load but not supply any current.

See the red and blu wires that goes to the blower??
Jumper wire from the blu to ground ..if that gives you high fan, reg is suspect.
But you see that 3 wire plug?..that should have a yellow wire that is variable V from ther Control Panel..that is what triggers the regulator and if no V there , the problem is not the reg.
You should have 12V ay the red also.

420 benz, not sure if your 420SEL has a 30-amp strip fuse on the driver's side shock tower. It's enclosed in a small black plastic case and has a philips head screw on either end. Typically the strip fuse develops a hairline crack which results in the blower motor not working. If you loosen the two screws it will be obvious if the strip fuse is cracked. If so, replace it.
