I have a good electrical fan but it was disconnected when a novice repaired collision damage- the driver's side wheel well was destroyed and repair required a new radiator, and new computer. The e fan was left disconnected. I don't see any connections for the fan, and I think that the parts for the fan (relays, connection blocks, etc.) were just left off of the vehicle... so I can't simply purchase the parts. I don't' know what the parts are called. Is there suppose to be some sort of e fan relay, a sensor (where would the sensor installed (in radiator?). Can someone tell me what the components of the E fan system are so I can buy them to put back onto my vehicle? 1997 Cherokee Sport 4.0 liter, 2 wheel drive, automatic.

The plug from the fan just goes into a connector coming out of the wiring harness near the side of the engine bay, the sensor for the fan is in the thermostat housing as far as I know thats it.

Thanks for the info.

Others will know better. It's my bet your E-fan relay is one of those in the power dist center under the hood. Bet the sensor tells the puter when to ground/activate it. (the relay). With luck somewhere down under the airbox, the original plug is still there. It might all be fine waiting to be plugged in. Btw, depending on what you read, the temp it comes on at is pretty high. 217* even. Makes it tougher to figure out. CCKEN is pretty sharp on that stuff and has a Jeep similar to yours.
