how to check my radiator fan for operation

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! First things first, let’s cool down your Renegade before diving in. To check your radiator fan, start by locating the fan relay and fuse in your engine's fuse box. Ensure they’re not blown or damaged. Next, turn your Jeep's ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine. This should trigger the fan if the engine is hot enough. If the fan doesn’t kick in, use a jumper wire to bypass the relay and see if the fan runs directly. If it does, the relay might be the culprit. If it doesn't, your fan motor may need replacing. If you need any further advice or if you'd like any help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
