Excellent work on this video!! It is very helpful; although we're not thru
fixing the '05 Liberty, 3.7L. We're getting ready to buy the new fan motor,
and wondering if we should buy the thermostatic control or relay first...we
definitely need one of those voltage testors!! Thank you, kindly.
I appreciate the video and your testing tip. The problem I have with my
2004 Jeep Liberty is the Fan doesn't work unless I pull the Low Fan Relay
out and restart the car, then the fan comes on and stays on. When I pulled
the radiator due to a leak I decided to try using the test relay without
starting the car. The fan started when testing the High and Low Relay. I am
trying to figure out if that testing means I have isolated the problem to
the temperature sensor or if something else is wrong. I am relieved to
know the fan is not faulty. Can you offer any advice?
If you have opened the relay like I did in the video, leave it in the slot and let the engine run to operating temperature or until the fan is supposed to come on and see if the relays are engaging. If not check your grounds to the ecu.
Ok the fan comes on when the relay is activated on high and low settings, right. You can test the temperature sensor or have the system tested at the ecu. Make sure there isn't any damaged or corroded wiring.
just because you have voltage going to the low speed side of the fan
doesn't necessarily mean the fan is bad. The computer also completes the
circuit through the ground side of the connector.Try feeding 12 volts
directly to the high and low inputs to the fan to verify that it is really
bad. I replaced the fan only to find that the problem was not rectified.
I have an 06 Jeep Liberty V6 3.7L. The temperature gauge on the dash has
been reading as overheating. There is no white smoke and no bubbling from
the coolant reservoir. I started noticing problems when the heater stopped
working and then about a week later, the temp gauge starting rising. The
car was then sucking about a gallon of 50/50 per week. I noticed a leak
from the radiator, so I have replaced the radiator, thermostat, water pump,
and the sensor for the temperature gauge with all brand-new factory parts.
The vehicle temperature gauge still shows as overheating and it will go
down when I turn on the heater. The fan works fine. A/C works fine. Heater
works fine. The rubber hoses running to and from the radiator both get
warm and it feels like coolant is traveling through. Some people told me
it is probably a leaky or cracked head gasket, but the oil looks fine,
there is no white smoke, and there is no bubbling from the reservoir.
Do you think it could be a head gasket? Is it maybe just a shorted wire
causing the gauge to read hot? Is the vehicle just possessed? Any ideas
are appreciated. Thanks.
Ok, you may have some air trapped in the system. Try this, there is a bolt on the housing on the upper radiator hose that takes a 8mm allen wrench to remove it. Find that, remove it and fill the radiator with coolant until it comes out of the hole. Then screw the bolt back in an top off as necessary. Let the engine run with heater on low drive it, let it run, or rev engine at 2000 rpms until it reaches normal operating temperature and check for heat steadily coming out or. Then check coolant level (add only when cool) and run the engine and see if it overheats.

Welcome To Buckley's Auto Care 302-999-8285. //www.buckleysautocare.com Here is what is necessary to test the cooling fan relay/module on a 2003 ...
@herrolusa What you need to do is to check the amp draw on the fan motor.
The motor draws to many amps which crushes the cooling fan module. We had
to replace the fans as well on this unit. It's pretty common on Jeeps, Town
and Country mini vans. The motors, fans and shroud come as one piece I
think. Don't do it any other way.- Thanks for the comments - Greg
Mines was the fan motor and of course the relay, next to change is the
thermostat and fan clutch cause it heats up a little when on traffic lights
or idle.

The new freeze plugs did fix my problem. I have videos on both installs. And if you're talking about the weep hole on the water pump that shouldn't be plugged. When that leaks it lets you know that your water pump needs to be replaced.
I actually bought one after reading that they have helped lots of people on the forums. But buying a special belt isn't really fixing the problem, just covering it up. My Harmonic Balancer (Crankshaft Pulley) failed and started rubbing the Timing Cover which caused the obnoxious squeak. I have a video on it.
Hazard Lights and Turn Signal Relay Fix. Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ
Did ALL your blinkers just go out at the same time. Well it not just a bulb then. Double check your fuse box #4 but more likely it is your relay that is the culprit.
This just happened to me the other day. My dad doesn't want to help me so I
have to do it myself. you make it look easy. So hopefully I can do it! I
didn't know the relay was kinda of pricey though....but I never realized
how much I use my turn signal until now.
+Randall Chavez Yes, This was the Flasher relay. Its problem was different than a simple fuse or bulb, because instead of just one light or one side, every single blinker and hazard light went out simultaneously (and the fuse was still intact).
+Julia Gilgurd I would think the relay failure in your case is less likely. In my case, the relay going bad was indicated by ALL blinkers, front and back, left and right going out at the same time. With you describing the front still blinking (and I assume the right blinkers work as well) it makes me think that your relay is actually just fine. As to the question of "what might be the problem" You are already working on what I would consider the prime suspect. That being when the blinker side blinks very fast, and only one light is not working, it is almost always a bad bulb. You indicate that you already changed the bulb. What I would suggest is to change it again. To do that, you could take the blinker from the right side (and its associated socket) and plug it in the left to see if that works. Why I suggest that, is that it could be the bulb (cheap and easy), but it could be the socket. Both could result in the jeep thinking the bulb is bad. If it turns out to be the socket, see my brake light fix in my other vids for fixing it with tin foil. Okay, now beyond the bulb and socket check, I would suggest checking the Fuse for the blinkers. So 1. New bulb again. 2. swap the socket (and bulb) from right to left. 3. check the fuses. Hope this helps, and good luck
More light could have helped, but I just needed the location, thanks! I
hear Jeep calls this the "convenience panel" lol. I guess compared to how
my Jeep repairs usually go this is a convenience lol.
just to confirm. None of your turn signals work? None of your Brake lights work? Your Hazards also do not work? If the answer is yes to all three, it really sounds like the relay. But as a double check have you reviewed the fuse box for any blown?
