how can you tell if the electric fan is good or not.

 

One very easy way: turn on your A/C; it should kick the fan on regardless of the temperature. Found this out in the shop manual; it works on my '93 and is the only time I have EVER seen the electric fan turn on.

 

what if you cant turn the truck on you know like at the jy

 

Bring a good battery or a portable jumpstarter and run your + and - wires from it to the fan. If the fan spins, it's good to go. It's how I did mine. You can also get em on ebay for about $60 new.

 

if the fan moves freely is that bad?

 

You should be able to turn it by hand with out any power going to it.

 

The fan should spin freely by hands with no noises. To properly test it you will need to hook the positive and negative wires to a battery, though.

 

mine has not worked for a while but my temps have still been ok with out it but i need to fix it before summer hits and the 110 degree days come

 

i tested it and it does not turn on when the ac is on.

 

i would try the battery method thats you most accurate way of finding out but i just got 2 10inch fans for 53 bucks on ebay

 

This might help

I bought a radiator with two electric fans on it at the jy last week for $30!!! I used the fans and saved the radiator in case I need it for something!!

 

im gona go do that tomorrow..
mine may not have worked since i bought it and i just realized it.

Radiator sprung a leak im thinking the original owner put some stop leak in it and since i ve been putting mixed stuff in it its probably flushing it out now.

lazy owners..

Well one of my fan turns but the left one (looking from inside the jeep) does not turn but the other one does. Is that bad? well i know its not good but like is it serious??

 

Studmifin-

Does your Jeep have two electric fans or one electric and one run by the belt?

If one is electric, turn on the A/C and see if both are spinning.
