1987 jeep cherokee electric cooling fan, how can I disconnect the fan?

while driving, smelled something what I thought was wire"s burning, but I think the fan just jamed and the smell was the fan moter possibily burning out. if I disconect the cooling fan can I still drive the jeep?

You most likely have a two fold problem going on with your radiator cooling fan.

Having a 20 year old vehicle means you need to take better maintenance care of it first of all - regardless of the miles on it.

Reason why is because rubber and some metal parts will wear out due just to age and nothing else.

I'm assuming you flush your radiator system at regular intervals of at least every 4 years minimum. Keeping fresh antifreeze in the system is vital to making the system last longer otherwise parts will be affected negatively as due to heat buildup from poor performance of the cooling system.

I can only guess here but I'm betting your radiator has been replaced at least once (maybe twice now - as they aren't made that great anymore - cheap ass crimping on the composite types!), as also has the thermostat regardless of miles driven, as they both can go bad just from age and deposits.

On most radiators with an electric assist fan(s) there is also an electric thermo sense switch (TS) mounted on the radiator itself that has to be working properly otherwise this fan switch could stick in the CLOSED position (set point usually 190 degrees F) leaving the fan to run all the time while the engine is running. Make sure it is connected as to the wiring connector, as I've seen this connection get pulled apart from other engine related work being done or else from a bad connector itself.

When the ignition is turned off the fan should still turn off as it is usually controlled by a timed RELAY circuit as a failsafe. Does it??

If the engine thermostat is sticking CLOSED, or indeed stuck CLOSED, that could also cause the fan to run excessively. Running plain water in the engine and not proper 50/50 antifreeze/coolant mix can also cause the engine to run much hotter then normal and thus adds to running the radiator fan more frequently then normal.

All this excessive radiator fan running leads to just one thing and that is worn out bearings. Some of these fans aren't made that good to begin with!

If the fan is indeed 'tired' or has a tendency to try and freeze up there should be safeguards to prevent wiring from burning up - as you so stated you smelled wiring possibly burning.

Most radiators have 2 thermo-switches (TS), one being an ambient radiator surface mounted TS, and the other one being an internal (screwed into) radiator mounted TS. There might even be a 3rd fan TS that is clipped directly to the fan motor case itself to sense an over-temp situation like that from the fan bearings freezing and the fan itself running hotter then normal. Just depends on car maker design.

There is also a TIMER RELAY module incorporated in all CA equipped cars as part of the SMOG packaging for cars sold here in this state. Reason for that is to reset the pre-warm circuit properly when restarting the car back up after shorter run and stop trips. If this relay is bad it could cause the fan to run on longer then normal after shutting off the vehicle, thus causing undue wear and tear on the fan motor also. I used to think it also helped to clear out any fuel fumes from under the hood after running the engine, but could never prove it or have it verified by my minivan maker??

NEVER DRIVE THE JEEP WITHOUT THE FAN MOTOR BEING CONNECTED!! You will surely damage something you don't want to!!!

To check the radiator fan circuit do the following:

I would first disconnect the battery from the circuit and do the following to check out the fan.

Next check the wiring leading to and from the fan motor and the TS (1 or possibly 2) connectors to make sure they are snapped together fully.

Next check the fan itself for free-play. Is it turning freely or is it very tight or hard to spin?? If so - you have a bad fan and it's time to replace it NOW!

If you are handy with a digital volt meter (DVM) connect it in DC series with the fan motor and while running the Jeep measure the current and compare it to a new fan's rating. If it's excessive then the fan motor is on it's way out. Time to replace.

Also check those 2 TS to make sure they are in the OPEN setting with a COLD engine/radiator.

Does not appear to be anything else that excessive as it looks to be isolated to the radiator fan circuit itself.

Hope this helps you out to troubleshoot the problem. feel free to email me if you still have further ??'s.
