Electric fan
My electric fan only comes on when AC turned on. What could be at fault? Can I run a splice into a wire and hook a toggle up to it? And if so how?

My engine overheats when im sitting still at light and with weather getting warmer its been hitting over 230. It cools off once I start moving again or turn air on

That is one possibility. Could be as simple as a radiator flush.

x2 on the thermostat. I just unplug the temp gage wire when I go wheeling and the fan will stay on. it helps to plug it back in and check if you get to a stopping point on the trail but you can usually feel the engine knock when she reaches the 260 degree mark. it will also turn on your engine light but it will go out within the next day after plugging it back in.

thermostat is a low temp, fan clutch is mopar and been replaced twice since i bought it in 2010, coolant might need to be flushed just a pain to do it.

Cooling problems
I'm rebuilding the '96 XJ SE that I got (for free) a couple months ago. It came to me in pieces. It has the 4.0, and I can't keep the temp down. I am running two 12" electric fans(on switches),new thermostat,temp sending unit and temp switch. Sitting at idle the temp runs up to almost 260,and even running both fans won't bring it back down. This is my first Cherokee,so I am looking for some advice.

If all the cooling components have been replaced and its still runnin above 220 at the hottest point then its goin to b a head gasket! Takes about 2 hours!
