Your pictures are really really small, all I can see is a Renix coolant pressure bottle and I guess thats the power distribution center? Very hard to see

I seem to recall with my 96 XJ, the fan did run all the time the AC was on.
Here's a link to another "ask the question" post where the topic came up: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/ask...0/#post1593003
And here's a link to the thread I originally started in trying to diagnose the auxiliary fan "problem." https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/pow...y-issue-93189/
Hopefully this helps prevent the purchase of any unnecessary parts...

Whether the electric fan runs all the time while the AC is on will depend on what year XJ he's driving, which I didn't see it listed in any of the posts. On my 01 XJ the electric fan only turns on once the AC has been running for a little while, and will only run when it is needed. From what I can gather, this is how it is supposed to work on the late-model XJs.

Radio Antenna
What is the stock size/diameter of a 97' Sport antenna? I want to replace my crooked worn out chrome one for a black one without replacing the entire fixture.

Not sure, but when you go to the parts store, look on the back of the packaging for a replacement antenna and it will probably tell you what it fits. They do make just replacement masts.
