The relay on our 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee was located behind the headlight on the passenger side of the vehicle. We were told by the technicians at the Jeep dealership that you have to remove the bumper to get to it OR you can remove the headlight assembly and drill a hole large enough to get a socket and extension to the bolts on the relay. That's what I did....removed the headlight and drilled a 5/8" hole to get to the relay screws. Why Jeep puts this relay in such a hard place to reach is beside me - - - other than perhaps they don't want it to be easily customer replaceable. Argh! Good luck. I just broke the plastic under the headlight by making hole with a knife and then putting a screwdriver in the hole and tisting. It was alot easier than driling ,but whatever you prefer. I just had a hard time finding a socket for that size bolt. I paid $80.00 for the relay does that sound right or was i taken for a fool? It WAs a lot faster and cheaper tham taking it to the dealer they wanted to charge me $175 to install this $80 relay. Sometimes i can't believe the shamelesness.

The fan relay switch is located behind the passenger headlamp. The relay is visible, but you cannot get to it. There are two ways to get to it. Disassemble the complete front end including removing the upper core support or just removing the passenger headlamp, locate the location of the sensor, use a three inche hole saw and cut through the plastic carefully, watching for cables. The relay should now be eassily accessable.

Very simple, the fan relay is in the little black fuse box next to the battery on the passenger side, once you remove the lid there is a diagram on the underside, very simple. GOOD LUCK !!!! Alex C. in Las Vegas

There is a rectangular black box under the hood on the passenger side of the vehicle. Pop the top off and the relay is located inside this box along with several other relays and a few fuses. The location legend should be printed on the inside of the lid of that box.

you need to take front the bumper off & its bolted to the body directly below the passenger side headlight, stupid I know. Causes them to run hot & motor will eventually develop a knock if its not fixed asap
