New Jeep fan issues?

Dec 06, 2005 10 Replies

Hello Group I have a 05TJ Rubicon with only 16,000 Km on it. As it's starting to get colder around here parts The fan has been on quite a bit lately. Lately I've noticed the fan making clicking/rubbing sounds Started off faint, but now it's load enough to hear over the stereo. I think it may be a fault to be fixed under warranty. But could it be something got in the fan shroud. Any ideas? I don't really want to bring it in, only to get a bill to remove a mouse or something :-)



Thanks in advance for any advice Frank



should be under warranty!

Was the mouse an extra cost option?

Hi Frank, Open the hood and take a look. You can see a lot by looking. If you do not see anything stuck in there feel free to take it in under warranty, no problem. You would have to authorize any charges before they charge you. Tomes

Heater fan, or radiator fan? Take it in anyway. Neither should make clicking or rubbing sounds. Paper in the defrost duct? Big labor bill? Learn for next time.

Probably. I don't know about TJ's, and each vehicle is different, but they all have the defroster ducts pretty much directly above the heater blower. "Clicking" sounds like a toll road receipt, but "rubbing" sounds more like a misaligned fan hitting the housing, and a warranty issue. These are just wild guesses, of course.

Makes it more able to get in and out of tight little spaces too.
