Default Electric cooling fan Help - Please

Hello,

I have a 4ltr petrol 1999 xj Orvis - I have a problem with the electric cooling fan, when i select heat or aircon even when the jeep is not up to operating temperature , the fan cuts in for about ten seconds then goes off for about 30 seconds, then back on for ten seconds - drives me crazy !!

I have eleminated the relay and the fan both operate fine --- any suggestions welcome please

Thanks

Would that happen even if the aircon was not selected - I do hear a clunk of sorts before it happens and the revs drop slightly ?

There are 5 selector positions that engage the a/c compressor and efan and as mentioned, low freon will cause rapid on/off.
