R129 Auxilliary Fans
After Taking my car in for routine service(1994 SL320 74kmiles)and having my aux fan control wires changed out my fans are spinning backwards, Is ther an easy fix to this? It is a little frustrating as it is causing high temp readings when AC is engaged. Any help greatly appreciated.

Just realized I didn't reply to the fan question.
1.) yes they were spinning correctedly to start first indication of a problem was when the temp gauge ran 20-30degrees higher than normal around town.
2.) sure I could have brought it back but I would not have had the car for two weeks after many hours and about 4 blown fuses I figured it out it took 6-heinekens
3.) I traced the harness both ways at its start point the plug has a guide bar think three fingers 2 plug in one guides the way. I broke off the guide flipped the plug over and reversed the fans polarity, voila back to perfect. My mechanic said it would have taken 12 hours at least to fix and still may not have been right. Sometimes beer and perseverance pays
