Perfect Replacement
I drive a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and this part is hard as hell to get to. but other than that the part itself is a perfect replacement.

The original fan relay failed on my wifes 98 Chrysler Town & Country minivan at 225k miles & 14 yrs. I bought a BWD replacement relay at my local Advance store and installed it. It worked fine for 8 days then it failed. The radiator fans stopped coming on again. I took it back to the store and they promply replaced it. The 2nd relay failed after 3 days, this one would turn the fans on randomly, sometimes after parking the van overnight, the fans would be running the next morning. I took that one back and got a third one. It lasted 11 days then failed to turn the fans on again. I gave up, got my money back. I went to the local pull-apart yard and got a used Chrysler one for $3.00. It has been working correctly for the last 7 months.

Comments about BWD Relay:
Reason for purchase...overheating when stopped.
After removing the rightside headlight. Cut a access hole to install. I used a large drill bit and a hand held hacksaw blade to remove the plastic. Very easy.
After removing the old relay, Just to make sure that it was the relay I used a continuity meter to check the electric fan. Pin 1 and 3 showed the fan winding still good. Replaced relay and it was good to go. No problems so far with new relay..fingers crossed it will last as long as org.

Product is an exact fit for 1999 Chrysler T&C radiator fan relay. Disconnect and remove the battery to remove the COMPLETE air cleaner assembly to remove the driver's side head light assy to access plastic cover over the fan relay.

Q:
I have an 03 Grand Cherokee Laredo with the 4.0 Litre six. I replaced the coolant temp sensor and the fan still never turns on. I found what looks like the relay mounted near the right fender Below the battery and two mounting bolts with a two wire plug. Doesn't look like what is in the Advance auto pictures but then what Advance seems to offer is the relay plus a pigtail and some wire splices. Help?Asked on 5/7/2012 by Steve from Export, Pa.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
This BWD Relay (Part No. R4736) is the exact fit for your 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 4.0L. Please check the ground wire from the PCM. If you don't get ground when the temp rises above 210, check to see if there's a ground on that wire right at the PCM. If there is, you have got a break in the wire between the PCM and the relay. If not, you have either got a bad connection from the temperature sensor or a bad PCM. For any further assistance please feel free to call 1-877-238-2623 and one of our representatives will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.Answered on 5/11/2012 by John the Car-Doc from AAP
Q:
I have a 99 Grd Cherokee. Do I really have to cut out a plastic cover to get to this? Jeep didn't make another easier way to get to this?Asked on 4/28/2012 by Pharrederick-k-k from Carolina2 answers
A:
This is how the dealership replaced it on my 2003 Laredo to the tune of 300 bucks the first time. When it went out again, I found a video on YouTube that showed how to replace it for 50 dollars. When I took the front right headlight out, there was a nice hole cut in the plastic right above the relay. Saved me a little time by not having to cut it myself, but mad as hell that they told me they had to remove the front bumper to get to it!Answered on 5/2/2012 by Jim the jeep noob from Myrtle beach, scCUSTOMER CARE
A:
The radiator fan relay on your Jeep Gand Cherokee should be located behind the left front headlight. The Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) cooling fan relay is located below the right headlamp behind the bumper fascia. Remove front bumper and grill assembly. Remove 1 support bolt near front of reservoir. Remove 2 reservoir mounting bolts. Remove reservoir from vehicle to gain access to vacuum hose. Disconnect vacuum hose from reservoir fitting at rear of reservoir. Disconnect electrical connector at relay. Remove 2 relay mounting bolts and remove relay. For installing, position the relay to body and install 2 bolts. Tighten bolts to 3 N.m (25 in. lbs.) torque. Connect electrical connector to relay. Connect vacuum hose to reservoir. Install reservoir and tighten 2 bolts to 3 N.m (25 in. lbs.) torque. Install front bumper and grill assembly. The only other way to do it is to remove the right headlamp assembly and cut out a section of the hard black plastic directly under the area that the headlamp assembly would sit. Now you can see the relay. Remove the bolts holding the relay in place pull it up through the hole you just made and disconnect it from the wire harness. Install new relay.Answered on 5/1/2012 by Vincent from AAP
Q:
I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L. It overheats when at idle and throws the code P1491 Manufacturer Controlled Auxiliary Emissions Controls. Is this the correct relay for this problem thats located under the passenger headlight?Asked on 1/26/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The code P1491 is for the cooling fan relay control circuit. Start by checking the fuse for the fan relay. It is in the box under the hood, a 40 amp fuse. This BWD Relay with part# R4736 fits your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it should be located behind passenger side headlamp.Answered on 1/27/2012 by Vincent from AAP

Q:
I have a 2002 Jeep Cherokee Grand. I am wondering if I need a relay or relay switch. I am told these are 2 different parts even though when I research these parts, the names are used interchangeably. My fan motor does not cut off when the car is turned off unless the relay is pulled from the relay compartment on top and then it does not work at all of course. Which do I need? Thanks for the help!Asked on 12/16/2011 by Anonymous from Kingsport, TN1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The radiator fan control relay should be the problem. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.Answered on 12/16/2011 by Vincent from AAP
