I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee. It is not a Grand Cherokee. It is a 4 door with the 4.0 engine. I noticed that my electric fan would not kick on. I checked the motor and it was fryed. I just replaced the whole fan assembly including the motor. I let the jeep get up around 200 degrees. It never kicked on. At what temp should this fan kick on? When i unplug the temp sender, the fan comes on right away and stays on until i plug it back in. So it would seem that the fan is working. Please help me out. Thanks

Thanks for the advice! I will have to check the relays. i just want to make sure when it gets hot, that fan kicks on. I use it to plow with, and on the highway the plow blocks the airflow!

My '72 W200 has a plow on it as well. With a 180* thermostat, driving around town without the plow, it would sit around 180*. Driving with the plow, it'd hit 210* Hopefully the mercedes fan will fix that.
Yeah i hope both of our fan problems are fixed! I also installed a 160* thermostat so hopefully everything will work good this year for us both!

You are probally right about not needing the fan, but i have a large plow that blocks the whole front of my jeep. so no air gets in the radiator. I pegged the gauge 5 times last year when it was 10 below zero. It always cooled right back off after a minute or 2. my plow jeep also has over 256,000 miles on it.

Thanks for the idea. I will check into that later. I think the relay thing will fix it.
