W201 overheating

My 1992 W201 190E 1997cc engine 102962 is overheating. I suspect the radiator fan switch/sensor. There are 2 wired sensors on top of the cylinder head at the front. 1 has 3 connections and the other has 1, my local dealer parts department is confused. there appears to be very little on the on line merc pa ts catalogue. any advice would be appreciated.

I would suggest you contact the MB Classic Center in Irvine, CA. They're very knowledgeable about W201s and they can help you. They've helped me numerous times with my W201.
