The fastest way to check a radiator fan is to turn on the a\c while idling , this should automatically turn on both fans at once, if they don't come on first check the fuses then the fan relay. If the motors are working when the a/c is on then your thermoswitch has gone bad (its located somewhere on the radiator, look for two wires coming out of it)

SOURCE: How can I test a Mercedes 2002 C240 Cooling fan on the bench?

Connect 2 wires to fan plug, w/ other end of wires touch to battery terminals (disconnect battery to make sure you don't accidentally touch the wires together while doing this, as you can damage the electrical system). When you touch to the batt. terminals, the fan should kick on. If it doesn't, the fan motor is shot, if it does turn on, it is a relay that is bad, not signaling the fan to turn on when it should (as engine temp goes up).

Please help! 2001 mercedes c240 has errors: ETR ignition squib R12/6 ignition circuit shorted to ground; also R12/7; and Restraint Systems ECU n2/7 ECU terminal 15r/15 under voltage

I would say the best thing to do here is to contact a Mercedes Independent dealer, and show them your list of fault codes.
A wiring diagram with the electrical connector numbers is required, and there are not many of them around for Mr. DIY.
R12/6, R12/7, n2/7-15r/15 should be identified on the diagram as either wires or connectors. I had a similar readout on my 2001 C240, when oil from the rear crankshaft oil seal was seeping out of the gearbox bottom drain, and saturating the area where the main electrical connection entered the gearbox. something like that may be the problem.

The electric fan in my 2002 C240 runs constantly even when the engine is cold, the sensor has no problems. Could be the engine temperature sensor? What else could I check? Thanks

It must be the coolant temperature sensor or the fan relay. The relay is located in the relay box under the hood. I can't say exactly where on that car.
