Uh, Maybe someone can clear this up for me. I was in the jeep looking at the gauges to make sure they were lit up and what not. I noticed while the gauges were lit up but the jeep was not running I noticed the temp needle slowly going towards 260 mark or the 240 whichever is the mark before redline. I have been having overheating issues *well thats what my gauge says maybe the gauge is bad?* But as mentioned before what does that mean when the needle did that?

maybe wire to sender or sender it going bad not temp sensor but temp sender

Thermostat I did. fan clutch I did. water pump... Erm will need to check.

I flushed the whole system and add new coolant.

check coolant temp. sensor on t-stat housing
get wiring diagram, check for short

AndyADD

Well, there is new wiring underneath (passenger side of the engine bay) for the new transmission I assume. I checked wiring but I will check again.

Here is picture of the hottest or usually where the needle goes at idle.

The fan never kicked in. So either fan is bad (I remember hearing it kick in before) or the temperature gauge is screwy.

wen you turn the ac on does fan come on if so either the sensor on rad is bad or the relay on drivers side fender well by air box is bad

AndyADD

I turned ac on and it never came on (the guy said the ac is bad but could that conflict with the electric fan?)

no yhay eas just checking to see if the fan was good

freegdr

is this happening with motor running or not running you have said both

freegdr

theirs one mor way to check the ac fan to see if its woring as long as this plug is getting power their is a can behind the ac compressor looks similar to this take the wire plug off that is on it and with jeep running get a piece of wire and jump between the two connectors in the plug you pulled off this will cause ac comp to start running and ac fan should run also do not leave plugged inor by pass this switch to make ac or fan come on all the time you wiil lock up compressor

Not running I was just messing with the lights.

I was told in haynes manual to wire the electric fan directly to the battery which I tried and it kept giving sparks (when the wire touched the terminal) and the metal almost welded together which I stopped before something else happened. (fail)

Edit: What do you mean jump it? Do you mean wire it to the battery or have one wire connected to both leads like (+)---wire---(-) or (+)---wire----(+battery) (-)----wire----(- battery)

my temp never goes over 150 or so, the fan does kick on. Just an FYI, I dont think the guages are all that accurate.

freegdr

you lost me why are you worried about the fan coming onwin truck aint running

AndyADD

Well, I did edit my post. Not worried of the fan coming on just the clips I had on the terminal started to spark and I am sure I wired it right and I was not bridging anywhere.
