[XJ99]

my electrical fan wont shut off. I need to know what fuse in the fuse block to pul to shut off 99 xj sport 4.0. Thanks

Do it the easy way just follow the wires coming out of the fan and unplug the connectors from each other.

Yea Ive been actually waiting for this to happen dam gremelins ended up tapping on the relay and it turned off then I started the jeep and the fan didnt turn on and I heard a clicking sound and a check guages light came on so I can assume its a bad fan relay that I can replace easy. I did go and buy a haynes and will try to get a FSM soon so I can tackle the other prob down the road.......for now victory to me opcorn:

I know that my 99 Cherokee sport ele fan turns on when it gets to the operating temp around 180-210 then comes on for 2 sec then turns off then on for 2 sec and off but my jeep never overheats. I think down the road im going to do what most ppl do and mount a toggle switch in the cab to turn it on when I want it to.

Also wanted to know I took out the relay per believe that is the issue, do I need to go to the dealership to get a new one or would a parts store sell them???

Parts store should have them cheaper than the dealer and they should work just as well.

Mine was actually cheaper at the dealer.

[XJ99]

Just called the dealership they said the relay costs about $17.00 does that sound right or would a parts store be cheaper???

That is what I paid. The one for my Toyota was like $50.
