My Jeep was a recall in November of 2007 to replace what might be a defective cooling fan. When the temperature in South Carolina started warming up I noticed my engine getting hot in town but not on the hiway. I checked and found the fan would not start after engine heated. I took it back to the dealership and cpmplained that it worked fine till they replaced the fan. They checked and said it was a relay and they were not responsible for it. They wanted $250.00 to repair it. Where is the relay located and does it take a mechanic to replace it?

the relay is hard to access but its cheap. you need to look up by the drivers side front bumper and you should buy the new one first so you know what it looks like because it does not look like a regular relay. its held in by 2 eight mm screws.
