My Wife's 2003 WJ (4.0 I6) has been having some radiator fan issues recently.
She's been running the A/C recently and after shutting off the Rig, the fan stays on. I understand it's supposed to stay on until the block reaches as safe temp since coolant isn't passing through. But the fan keep running, so much that it killed the battery. I hooked the charger up and the fan came on immediately. Found and pulled the correct fuse so the battery can charge, but I need to fix this issue as we now have a little one and she can't be stranded with a dead battery. From old posts I gather that I need to swap out the fan relay or check the fan wiring harness, but where is the relay located and how much for a new relay. Is it a major PITA, or something I can do in the driveway?
