The schematic for the A/C is on pages 97-137&8 in my Bently (July 15th, 1991). It has all of the parts listed in the diagram.

According to the schematic, there should be a red/white wire from fuse #7 that goes to the radiator fan switch, and to the radiator fan relay, on factory A/C vehicles. On non-A/C models, fuse #7 still controls the fan relays, but the wire is solid red going to the fan relay, and red/black going to the fan thermoswitch (radiator). The wiring is different on the A/C models to allow for a two-speed fan. Also, if you have dealer-installed A/C (as opposed to true *factory* installed), the Bently is not necessarily going to be accurate insofar as the wiring of the fan switch, A/C relay, and load reduction relay are concerned. On my '86, with dealer installed A/C, all the +12V feed wires, to the above mentioned components, are solid red.

The wire from fuse #6 should be a white/black wire right side low beam headlight. Cabin lights should be fed from fuse #8, and I don't see any evidence of speaker connections in the schematic at all (starts on page 97.54). Good luck!
