Grand Cherokee 2001 cooling fan running
today when I went to the store,
I noticed that the electric colling fan was running after I turned off the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2001 - ok... maybe it needed to run. but it was still running when I came back. So, I drove to the dealer... $$ They had to replace the fan (said it was shorted) + relay (said overheated) . I would think that the sensor was the only culprit ? Where and how is the fan regulated, on/off, and the relay ? If the fan was "running" just fine, why did it need replacing ? relay package - 5017491-AB $86 cooling fan - CBG4F250 $60 Anyway - the ONLY way to get at all these parts was from the FRONT grill/bumper and that took a couple hours total... SO - for a $60-$80 fan - it cost almost $400 in labor !! |
Re: Grand Cherokee 2001 cooling fan running
I believe the fan is a reversible one like the heater fans with two
wires going to it, but could be wrong on a GC. If so, it could short and overload or overheat the relay fusing it on. The story is plausible. Relays usually need an overload to fail 'on'.

Re: Re: Grand Cherokee 2001 cooling fan running
The relays often fail, and seems to me when ours failed with the fan on we
also needed a new fan as the motor was drawing more current then it should. Bearings probably going out. Our '99 has been in the shop at least 3 times for this issue. It is not the sensor, but usually the relay, which they get plenty of lab or for changing as it is behind the headlight and I believe the bumper fascia needs to be removed. Does not sound like a "rip-off", just a common expensive Jeep malady.

Relays can arc a lot under high current and DC loads and if the contacts are not sized properly for this load they will fail with time. If this is really such a common problem, they should have fixed it with a higher capacity relay rather that keep sticking you with replacing a marginally rated one. I have had a lot of cars over the years with electric fans and never had the first one with control relay issues even after 11 years of service. Properly sized the fuse will blow before the relay would burn and they fact that no one mentions fuses blowing tends to support a design flaw with a improperly sized/rated relay. (likley to save a few pennies when building them) ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |
