Overheating

[Josueblonde]

Hey y'all I'm having this issue where my jeep over heats if i leave it in park. If I drive regularly the cooling system will be okay but if I leave the jeep running and sitting my engine will overheat. I replaced the thermometer, coolant sensor, and water pump, the relays work. However this issue still persist. I wonder if wiring is the issue and how one would fix that. Could it be the fan is bad or has bad connectors?

On your 2006, I assume you meant that you replaced the thermostat. What brand of thermostat did you install?
Did you use Hoat or Zerex G-05 coolant?
Did you bleed the air out?
Does your electric fan turn on correctly, even going into high speed?
When you turn on the Air conditioning, or select any defrost position, the fan should be running.

Usually....
When the vehicle overheats while sitting still you have an airflow problem such as a bad fan.
If it overheats while driving. Look for a coolant flow problem.

Check the fan operation as mentioned above

One other thing to check - is the thermostat installed in the correct orientation for proper flow?
