After two electric fan failures on my 1999 Grand Cherokee between Jan 08 and Jul 09, and a $400 flatbed charge for the 2nd one, I got fed up with the reliability of the electric fans and added a mechanical fan and clutch.
My GC 4x4 has an inline-6, 4.0L engine. Adding the clutch/fan assembly took all of 10 minutes. The threaded end on front of the water pump is right there, so I first mounted the fan to the clutch on my workbench, then screwed the clutch onto the threaded portion of the water pump.
The vehicle has never run better, and my gas mileage IMPROVED 1-2 mpg during the summer because the a/c compressor doesn't run nearly as often because of this fan, which is always pulling air throuch the a/c condenser.
I absolutely think the mechanical fan is the way to go. The electrical fan proved unreliable.
I am lucky that the electric fan didn't fail while I was deep in the woods, or cause severe engine damage.
It could have either or both depending on how it was built.

There is no such thing as a 2002 Cherokee Laredo. The last year for the Cherokee was 2001, and the last year it came with the Laredo trim was 1992. I have a 2003 Cherokee Laredo so this awnser makes no sense at all. Do you have a GRAND Cherokee Laredo? Those are still being made. They are not the same as the Cherokee.
It is not equipped with a fuel switch.

I wish I knew. I have a 2002 Grand Cherokee that is doing the same thing.
My 1999 Grand Cherokee just started this today. My first thought is that the fan relay is stuck in the "on" position.
Under the front of the passenger side cylinder head.
Open the rear hatch. you will see 2 screws on the side of the taillight. Remove them and pull the taillight out.
