[s-cars] Radiator cooling fan (200Q-20V) won't run

[Tim Leonard]

Gary was correct. The fusible link was the culprit. I am sorry I did not
realize I needed to study the Bentley from cover to cover studying all
models and diagrams for every model to discover the correct location was
shown under a different year/model than the car I am working on. My mistake,
I should have known better. I did find all of the relays for the different
stages of fan speed but have yet (although not necessary at this point) to
find the J155 coolant fan control unit. I will now look at the '90 200
diagrams to find it's location for use perhaps in the future.
Thanks for the response. The problem is solved.
Best,
Tim Leonard
