As unfortunate as it is, it seems like my jeep is being held together by duct tape. Everything is falling apart on her little by little, but I'm doing what I can with what money I have. She's my daily driver as well and that makes it worse. But to get to the point, my main problem as of right now is the fan gave out behind the radiator. I know well enough not to drive it because the engine could over heat or worse. But I don't have a clue where to start looking for a problem. I got this jeep from my brother about 4 months ago and I've been trying to learn as much as I can. When I got the jeep the fan was wired manually to where you would connect two wires ( my guess, hot and negative wires ) to turn the fan on. Well for a temporary and cheap fix all I did was buy toggle switch to turn it on. I've been driving it like that for two or three months then as of tonight the fan stopped working. I don't know if the crap load of rain we got here in south west Florida last night may have caused it or if a wire came loose somewhere but I'm desperate for help.


Happy Holidays to you all - Zach

 

well, ive been in these problems. find a buddy who knows cars and tell him youll buy him a 6 pack and pizza let em look at it OR just sell it.
ik it sucks but.. well.. life goes on and you can get a better one.

 

well you need to be sure the fan works, or you got power to the fan....could try jumping wire from a battery to fan to test or get a voltometer to check for power...also could try spinning efan: there should be some resistance to the spin....also search function, and chilton and haynes manuals are awesome...good luck

 

Thank you so so much

 

There's no way I can sell her, she hasn't given up on me so I can't give up on her man

 

you only got one fan

 

The toggle switch was bad. I really wish I had the money or parts to make this jeep the jeep she should be. It was a simple fix. It's just temporary though. I tried checking to see if I could get power to it last night after I ran it eleven miles like that with no fan ANSI wasn't gettin any power to it. Well I traced the hot wire and found where my big brother ghetto rigged it to the battery. Basically the hot wire was bad so thankfully I had some extra wire Layton around thanks again man I really appreciate it
