For the thermoswitch look under the car from the drivers side just in 
front of the wheel.  You pretty much have to lay on the ground, but you 
will see a connector going into the back of the radiator within easy 
reach.  It is a two pin connector with a rubber boot.  The under car 
radiator shrouds are long gone on my car so I guess there is chance it 
might not be so easy on a car still equipt with them.

I am not sure on the radiator relay location as I don't have them 
memorized, but it will be one of two places.  Either in the fuse box 
(under hood in rain tray on drivers side) or on the relay panel (over 
your left foot under the dash).  My bet would be with the fuse box plus 
it is easier to check - labels in English vs German and no contorting 
yourself.
