Fan won't run
Radiator fan won't run on 2001 Cherokee. Fuse, relay, and fan are all good. When the AC switch is turned on the fan slightly jumps for a second and then no power to the fan. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Are u referring to the elec rad fan or the blower fan under the dash? I believe '00/'01 XJs, the rad efan only comes on when engine coolant reaches 218F. '99 down XJs the rad efan is triggered by the compressor engaging or engine coolant temp reaching 218F.

I think on '00/'01 it's only triggered by 218F coolant temp. Others have posted that the dealer can re-program the ECU to turn the efan on the same way as '99 down.

wire it to a switch on the dash and flip it on when you start to boil over. eliminates the computer and puts you in charge.
remember you don't drive a jeep, you operate one.

Djb383 is right about 2000-2001 electric fan only coming on at 218 it doesn't come on with the ac . You are wrong about it coming on with the a/c.Something is wrong recheck what you think is ok the only other things are wiring and temp relay, or the brain.
