    Jeep overheating while idling

    Thanks 02redKJ - will check it out this weekend. My guess after doing some research is faulty relay. Anyone know a way to test the fan relay?

    Jeep overheating while idling

    Buddy of mine said maybe a bad fan clutch but didn't think these had a fan clutch. I don' think fan comes on though except when a/c is turned on.

    problem with radiator fan please help

    Chris90 did you ever figure out the issue? My wifes 2003 V-6 has the exact same issue. Fan only comes on when a/c is on. Overheats while idling after long drives (I think the wind cools it enough while driving).

    2003 Jeep Liberty V-6 While sitting idling in line or waiting to pickup someone up all of a sudden temp gauge goes to H and steam starts seeping out. Happened a few times now- neither AC or heat is on at the time. Checked coolant levels which are fine (flushed a couple of weeks ago installed...

    Jeep Overheating while idling

    Like I said above I tested the fan by turning on A/C but maybe it didn't kick on when temp is high and the a/c is off? anyone think this would be the issue or because it kicked on with the a/c on it's fine?

    Loud screeching sound when unlocking

    Anyone have any idea with this? When I unlock using the remote/or from the interior the driver side lock works but makes this loud screeching/whining sound as it pops up. I removed the door panel but can't seem to figure out what's causing this.

    Radiator consistently blowing

    My 2003 Jeep Liberty 4WD radiator blew again after I had changed it for the same reason about 4 months ago. The first time I thought maybe it was a defective radiator (1st one was in for about 7 months) so I switch brands and now it did it again after a few months. The vehicle didn't say it was...

    Voltage Regulator / Alternator / PCM ?

    Well I cleaned the connector and while my wife drove home from work everything started to power down and then died...took battery back to Oreillys said the charge was gone but battery still good. Sounds like battery is not charging. Should I replace the alternator?

    '03 Liberty Sport - Coolant Leak - Engine won't stay on

    Well I changed the radiator. The passenger side had a huge crack along the edge running up from the bottom corner. Must have been defective since it was only 3 months old (bought from OReillys). Turned the ignition and still shuts off after a few seconds. It will run when giving it gas but...
