Long story short, my a/c has never worked. When I bought the jeep last year the previous owner told me the compressor was shot. Well today at 95 degrees outside I said what the he'll and bought one of those cheap recharge Kits from autozone. The compressor never worked at all until the liquid was put in the system. I was a lil amazed. But now the temperature gauge goes to full when I turn on the a/c and when I turn it off the temperature gauge goes back to normal. What can I check to fix this problem??? I've researched a lil and came up it could be something with the aux fan. Any tips??? A/c blows cold....then turns warm when the temperature gauge goes to full =[

 

Does the aux fan turn on when you turn on the AC?

 

No it does not

 

Fix that first.

 

What are the chances of being the fan relay?

 

Well, it could be. But it could also be the fan motor itself is not working. There is also a thermostatic switch somewhere.

But is it my experience that when the A/C mode is on, then the aux fan is switched on.

You need to see if power is reaching the fan, maybe with a test light.

 

Well the fan I got from the junkyard from another xj. Never really noticed if it actually worked or not. I heard you could also use the fans from a ford Taurus?? Anyone got a lil more info on this? I just don't want to end up buying a brand new fan lolz which I might end up doing in the Long run

 

one way to test the fan is wire it directly to the battery.

 

I had the same deal. I got something similar to this, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G4904/

Now my jeep never over heats. just make sure you get the right size. at first i got something like a 17in and it was wayy to big. i think the one i got is like a 13 but im not sure.

 

I would jump the batt to the fan connecto, then Check the relay. It happened to me. Swap the relay with a known good relay in your box- it should turn on with your ac.

 

Check the threads on what JY parts fit your Jeep on this forum.

 

I'll try that this morning
