Aux. elect. fan doesn't turn on wtih A/C 200 1993

I've recently started using the A/C in my newly acquired '93 240 -- and in some stop and go traffic the temperature started to climb (which must have been really bad, considering it has that "compensation board" to moderate such fluctuations). Anyway, I got out and noticed that the aux. fan wasn't running.
(BTW, when the traffic started moving, the temp. promptly dropped, so the lack of fan is probably the overheating reason -- I just have to fix the fan).

Since this is my first post-'85 240, I'm not familiar with the locations of all the relays (it's quite different than the pre-'86's I'm used to) -- in fact, I'm not familiar with having such an aux. fan. So, as the first check, can anyone suggest where to start checking relays and such? What device (a relay, a switch on the A/C system, etc.?) is supposed to switch on that fan, and where is it located [the fan's wires gets lost in a wire bundle and I don't know where they exit.]
Thanks, folks.
