Im glad you posted this. I upgraded to a pair of smaller electric fans a few weeks back and used the type of controller that you picture. The set up operates fine but just doesnt move enough air, and they leave too much of my core uncovered, just wasted cooling space. I will definately be trying this.  roe

The controller I pictured will ONLY work with the Mercedes fan that DOES NOT have the heat sink.
Most aftermarket fans (all that I have seen) have the heat sink. They MUST be used with hooziewhatsit's fan controller or bad things will happen.

I got mine used through the body shop. The mounting tabs break in collisions and the fans must be replaced. Those tabs must be removed anyway so it's no big deal.
The fans are $500 new from Mercedes too.
Check the salvage yards.

The only Merecedes in my local salvage yards are early 90's ones...It looked as though there were aftermarket suppliers for this fan in this thread, but it seems they have all dried up?? atleast on ebag they seem to have

The plastic plug is part number 220-545-03-29.
The large wires with terminals are part number 000-540-40-05 (qty 2).
The small wires with terminals are part number 000-540-38-05 (qty 2).
Grab them locally if you like. It would probably be quicker.
We are not on commission over here so I wouldn't get anything from the sale anyway.
If you can't find something then let me know and we can work something out.

Is those plug & wires PN's the same for the old & new style fan?
I just bought a new style like the one on the right.

I just got my set-up fired up today. The fan works great! I even blocked the radiator with cardboard so that the temp would go up to 200* and the fan would wind up. When I removed the cardboard, the temp came right down to the point that the fan shut off. I like this fan and controller combo. We've needed this for a long time. 
Master, again and still

if you are concerned about the warranty and if it is any good, I would return it and pick it up after you get the other parts.
you could just see if it spins up and stop, but it is kind of a bear to get connectors on it since the ends are recessed.
Its brand spank'n new, with a build date of something like 1.06.12. I got tired of wait'n for a "smoke'n deal", or a "good deal" on a new one. Been looking since Sept. So I just went with what I though was a fair $. Now that's out off the way, & on to the next item.
Guess I'll find some female spades & some heavy wire for a quick test till I get the plug. Just didn't want to hurt my new mo$or.
Are my +, -, & trigger terminals correct.
