Check the wiring from the relay to the fan motor, and check the wiring from the fuse block. Basically check all wires that supply power to the fan motor, use a volt meter. Fan Relay (behind headlight, under battery) on the 2001 GC 4.0L are a piece of ****, I change mine almost yearly. The problem is their location, a high heat area prone to the elements. I understand that 2002 and newer, the location was changed and the problem solved. Relay might close the circuit when cold or at reasonable temps, but might open a circuit when it heats up, causing the problem.

FAN

The computer gets a signal from the engine temp sensor that the fan is needed, and grounds the fan relay to provide power to the fan.

03 grand cherokee, 4.0, rad fan will not run, checked fuses and replaced relay under headlight

Check the coolant temperature switch. You should have 12V on one side of the switch. If you jumper the two wires in the switch connector, your radiator fan should run with the ignition switch on. If it runs, replace the coolant temperature switch.

Cooling fan not kicking on causing the jeep to over heat. Replaced the termstat and temp sensor, on a 00 jeep grand cherokee.

Check the fan operation by disconnecting the fan wiring. Using the battery use a set of jumper wires to see if the fan runs directly off the battery.

02 jeep grand cherokee not running when temp gets high. replaced radiator fan relay

If it's still getting too hot (above 210F) check the radiator for internal plugging and externally for obstructions (leaves etc between radiator and A/C condenser, condenser plugged with bugs etc) If radiator takes a long time to fill generally it is internally obstructed. You replaced the relay...is electric fan coming on now? is clutch fan working? Is aux fan working with A/C? Any external leaks? any steam from tailpipe? You have a bunch more to look at!!!
Good luck
Problem with anything while testing, just ask!!

Elect.radiator fan does not come on , checked fan,works. When engine gets to temp. no power to fan.

The radiator fan "relay switch" may be faulty.
Replace the little black box in the fusebox under hood.

2003 jeep grand cherokee radiator fan doesn't turn on

Disconnect the fan plug and hot wire it to the battery if the fan dosen't run, replace it. Otherwise, check the relay. The system operates by the temp sender sending a signal to the computer that activates the relay that turns the fan on. Fan should also come on with A/C.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo radiator fan doesn't turn on.

Check power to the relay. it can close, but if there is no power to it, it can't send anything to the fan.
signal goes from sensor, to the computer, to the relay. when it closes it transfers power from the hot side to the fan.
