HI ALL, NEW TO THE FORUM BUT NOT CARS. I JUST BOUGHT A 93 CHEROKEE SPORT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH THE A/C ON THE TEMP GAUGE STARTED CREEPING UP TO JUST BELOW THE RED ZONE. I TURNED THE A/C OFF AND THE GAUGE WENT BACK TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMP. WHILE I WAS CHECKING THINGS OUT UNDER THE HOOD I NOTICED THAT I ONLY HAVE THE BELT DRIVEN FAN AND NO ELECTRIC ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE????????? I THOUGHT THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE 2 FANS ON THIS TRUCK, THE MECHANICAL AND THE ELECTRIC WHICH KICKED ON WITH THE A/C? THIS WOULD EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM BUT........ WHAT R YOUR THOUGHTS? GREAT SITE BTW THANKS IN ADVANCE !

 

Hi & welcome to CF from Tj...Yes you are suppose to have an electric fan on the drivers side if you have AC in the jeep. Someone must have taken it out. Try JY's for one...Tj

 

Ok, thats what i thought. I know it was a dumb ? But i just couldn't imagine why somebody would take it out and not replace it???!!! Ok so off to the jy i go. Thank you!
