How do you change the cooling fan relay on a 2001 jeep grand Cherokee?

Answer 1

The cooling fan relay of the 2001 grand Cherokee is behind the front composite structure that hold the head lamp in place, specifically under the passenger side attached to the metal body, to get to it you will have to remove the front grill, then the head lamp assemblies then the front bumper fascia, then the composite structure that supported your head lamp assemblies, the front grill is held in place by 7 Phillips screws 4 on top 3 in the grill it self, the bumper fascia is held in place by 2 bolts or nuts securing it where the fascia meets the fender wells under the splash shield, this splash shield are held together with the bumper fascia by plastic rivets as well the bumper is held to the body in the front underside by 3 plastic rivets, once the bumper fascia is removed you get access to the screws or bots (Torx) that hold the composite structure to the bumper (Body) remove those and remove the 4 Torx (bolts or screws) that attach the composite structure to the metal frame that runs form side to side to which the hood latch is attached, pull the composite structure out of the way, paying special attention to the wiring of the head lamp assembly not to damage it, this wiring can be disconnected as well from the main harness, now on the passenger side behind where the composite structure was you will see the fan relay bolted to the metal body in the recessed area. Hope this helps is not difficult but it is tedious because of the location of the SPECIAL relay.
