As others have stated you don't need that relay. Save yourself the $$ and frustration. Here is a procedure for removing the relay that I got from Tom Townsend of Townsend Imports when I had the same problem.
My right hand side cooling fan was still not coming on when the car reached operating temperature. The classic test is to short the two wires at the
thermo-contact(85 47 572) in the upper left hand corner of the radiator. This should turn the cooling fan on but mine did not come on. The fuse and fan
relay in the fuse box had been replaced along with the new thermo-contact in the radiator. From the excellent advice of Thomas Townsend I was directed
to a large black relay , Time Relay for the fan circuit, clipped to the inner fender well near the air filter. I had never noticed it before and it has two sets of
numbers, 898271 and 85 87 677. You don't need this relay. Remove the relay(unplug it) and bridge connections 87 to 30(at the plug). The fan should
come on whether the car is running or not. Clip the two wires (BE CAREFUL AND ONLY CLIP ONE AT A TIME) from the plug and solder them
together and seal with heat shrink tubing. If you clip all the wires the power circuit will ground and blow the fuse. Leave wires 15 and 31
attached to the plug and tie the wire out of the way. My cooling fan now comes on when the car reaches just above half on the temperature gauge.
Good luck.
Cliff
