I have a 2000 Grand Cherokee.
It has started overheating when stopped at a red light or stuck in traffic.
I replaced the Thermostat and the Temp Sending Uint, still overheating
Then I noticed that the Elec. Fan is not coming on, even with the A/C.
I ran wires from the battery to the fan and it will come on so i think the fan is still good but im not sure what else to do.

I checked Autozone online and they have

i also have a Haynes book, and it says nothing about any of these parts.

4.3L XJ

Check the relay and see if it is getting power and functioning.
