Hello Everybody:
I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport, 6 Cylinder, AC/AT.
The Electric Fan is coming on for about 10 seconds, off for 5 & seconds, Repeating from the minute it is cranked up til you shut it off?
Now it only does it of course when it is on any of the A/C settings (Which I think this is normal) or when it is selected to run defroster or defroster + out the bottom to keep your Feet warm (I do not think this is normal?)
If you select hot air coming out of A/C vents or out at your feet. The fan doesn't come on.
Now it shouldn't be coming on with the Heater Switched on at all should it?
I'm thinking that the fan switch is bad, but the only thing I can find is a Switch very similar to a Temperature Sending unit there at the front of the block where the Hose goes into water jacket housing where the thermostat is located.
This Switch I'm talking about has 2 wires going to it & it LOL Looks like a Fancy High Dollar Temperature Sending Unit Switch (Probably $20 - $40), which is no big deal. Is there a chance that this switch could be Temperature Sending Unit + Fan Controller Switch Combined? I've Looked all around the Radiator the best I could & I do not see any other switch?
BTW: I've fairly well checked over everything & as far as I can tell it's not overheating, Plenty of water in radiator, also Plenty in Water Resevoir, Belt has proper tension & the Fan clutch appears to have little resistance like most other fan clutches do.
Ok, Now that I've wrote my Jeeps Life story in complete detail, Am I right about this switch, If so I'll replace it.
If not could you please Point me in the right Direction?
If you've read this far, you are a Great Person. LOL, I started to click somewhere else myself, Twice? :)
Thank You for Your Time!!!!!
