Dan,
I remember having a problem with the fusible link on the driver's side D
pillar.  Corrosion led to heating led to melting...
  I replaced it with a big ole fuse.  Don't remember tho whether it powers
the main relay or just the fans.

Just take a quick look at the Bentley and the source of the trouble whould
be obvious.   :-)
