Radiator Fans issues. Easy fix?
So my electric fan quit working. It was working and then i took it out to replace my belt. Then i noticed the temp on my jeep was higher than normal and discovered no fan. I took the relay out and found that if i wiggle it, the fan clicks on and off really quick. So is it a bad relay or connection issues or what? help me please. Goin over some mountain passes next weekend don't need to be the guy on the side of the road.

The electric fan is triggered by temperature, and 218* is the temperature I've seen most often. From your description it sounds like a defective relay, so I would try replacing the relay. You could wire it to a toggle switch and operate it manually.
