ok. I did some thread searching, and could not find anything reguarding this. but my electric fan will come on imediatly at start up for about 3-5 seconds, then shut off for about 8-10 seconds, then come back on, and go off. it continues to come off and on in this manner, reguardless of temp(of which I'm not sure because I have the crappy gauges, soon 2 be remedied). the on and off of the fan doesn't seem to be spastic enough to be a bad connection. is this problem from a bad sensor, a bum relay, or what????

 

Is your defrost on?

 

yes, as a matter of fact. just checked, turned it off of defrost, the fan went off and stayed off. I'm not up to opperating temp yet, so I dont know if it is coming on then, but I'll keep an eye on it. I don't recall my last xj doing that but it has been a coupple years. is this normal??

 

There are 5 positions (yellow circles) that engage the a/c compressor and efan. U may be low on refrigerant (on/off rapid cycling)

 

ok. thanks fellers.

 

Perfectly normal. Creeped me out for a while too.

Hope it solves it for you man!
