FAN-tastic
2004 WJ with 4.0, my fan don't work. I have replaced the fan, PDC relays and the coolant temp sensor. There is no secondary relay to be found and I was wondering if the high low pressure AC switch could be the problem? But if its bad wouldn't my AC be non functional?

Okay, the double fan relay system is beyond my experience, but I believe they get their triggers from the PCM reading the temp sensor. One's for high and the other for low. That was supposed to eliminate the problem of the pulse-activated one on the earlier models from getting hot and failing. When the relay on mine died, I just wired a relay and switch to the fan so it would run anytime the ignition was on until I could get a relay to replace it. I left that circuit installed after I replaced the relay so if the new one failed, I wouldn't be left stranded on the road.

Yes, but it was a couple of days later when I had the time. It was cold, rainy, and I was working in my driveway. His system is different.
