Is there supposed to be an electric fan on my '88 Cherokee with a 4.0?.... I have a mechanical fan. But don't think I've seen an electric one. I also am missing a fan shroud....

I'm thinking seriously about swapping to the 92 radiator and cooling system.... Anyone know what size fan to use?

Well... I have all the parts... Lol but I don't know if it works.

Right now the blower motor doesn't work... So I'm beginning to dig into it.

Freakin tweekers!..... Ooh well. I'll find a good electric fan when I do the conversion. I don't overheat, so I'm not sweating it too bad.

Isn't that a pic of the newer system? I don't have a recovery tank. Only the tank with the wanna be radiator cap.

double check your fuses, i know on the 88 there is a fuse for the blower under the driver side kick panel.

Ok, I stole a fan off of my brother in laws '87... But I want it on a toggle switch.....
Can I just trace the wire from the sensor to the relay and put power to that?
