Cooling issue...overheating
I looked throught the search and did not find my exact symptoms. I have a 2000 XJ With a tripple core radiator, 180* t-stat, High-flow water pump, and new clutch fan. I replaced all of those items UNDER 1 week ago. I took it to the dealer ship and it is still sitting there wondering what is wrong with it. I told them it is running too hot 220-250deg. range even when it is 70 degrees outside.
The other day It hit its prime #'s at 260 and bubbling the coolient in the resivor. The AUX. fan does kick on at 220deg how it should BUT if i have the A/C on that fan does not kick on. Is it a relay? The stealer ship said it is my AUX fan and my thirmostat sensor, they said it was probally caused by shorting out. I was playing dumb w/ them saying well ok, but then he added it must be from that 180 t-stat. HAHA NO, I have been working on jeeps for a long time and this is a new one for me.
What opinions do y'all have?
Thanks for your time.
