- ISSUE HAS NOW BEEN RECALLED!!! Call your dealer for details. Blown 30 amp maxi fuse for your cooling fan? Fan not working? car overheating, or a/c not working? Fan violently shaking? This is probably why. Apparently the fan also fits a Ram ProMaster City Tradesman? 2.4L. 15 16 17

I appreciate you calling my 2015 Jeep Renegade junk. I appreciate it more than the fact that my engine overheated yesterday and the check engine light came on, but no warning that it was maxing out on the coolant temperature readout deep in the stupid driver monitor instead of a gauge. Dealership won't work on it because it's not covered on the powertrain warranty, but if I would have kept driving the engine would have been damaged. If that happened they told me they could have pointed to the thermostat and then the engine wouldn't be covered under said warranty. None of my upcoming vehicles are going to be from Chrysler.
If I need to work on something, it's junk. Thanks for watching.
Rust Belt Auto So my fuse was blown just like this one, when I put a new one in the fan never spun up like yours did in the video. After a bit of letting the temp rise to see if it would, I turned it off and the fuse was blown again. Any ideas?
@@cnesler fan motor. That would be my guess.
Rust Belt Auto thanks, worth a shot
@@RustBeltAuto After a few hours and cursing the sun later, I have a working fan. Thanks so much for this video, it was extremely helpful. The only thing that I couldn't quite understand from watching it was how you disconnected the plug from the sensor sticking into the engine under the heat shield. If you ever find yourself in Minot, ND let me know, I'll buy you a beer.
One of US!! I'm a Tech since 1979' and I've grown to hate the evolution of cars to JUNK. Thanks for taking the time to post this video. Stay Strong, I started a list long ago for a hit list of terrible engineers I have to eliminate, or just shame.
Your cynical, sarcastic, yet humorous commentary made this infinitely better! Kudos for keeping a calm head and still venting about it. Guess why I’m here; yup!!! That fan noise.
There is a recall on this now.
@@RustBeltAuto Thank goodness. Ours went from failing to burning electrical smell and dead. Popped that fuse after it spent a week trying to rattle itself out of the engine bay. It’s at the dealer now.
Thank you for this video. I’m going in for service, for this same problem, plus the motor is making grinding sounds while it’s engaged. Luckily my car is still under warranty. But now I now what to expect when I take it down. Video was informative, and entertaining!
Jason Nieves ;)
typical chrysler ford JUNK
Thanks man, my fan was ok, but the 50 amp fuse was blown! Appreciate the video, was able to diagnose in 10 mins before work and able to fix in 10 mins after work for $5…. Appreciate you!
Usually if the fuse blows, there is something wrong. Hope you have a spare or 4.
Today the fan on my 2015 Renegade seized up and burned, which left us with some scary gray smoke billowing out from under the hood. After I got the family out of the car and made sure nothing was on fire, we parked on the street and walked to lunch to let the engine cool down. It looks like it was just this fan motor that burned up, but in my case the fan cannot even be turned by hand. It is completely melted and stuck. I was only about two miles from the house so I was able to drive it home. Thanks for making this video and showing us all the junk. I don't have a good place to work on my car so I am going to take it in for this fix on Monday. At least I have a good place to start when discussing with the mechanic.
If anyone else hits this issue, please note the comment in the headline here. This fan part is under recall. I called the dealer and they were able to verify based on my VIN. I just got my car back and the dealer replaced this fan at no cost.
54,000 miles in on my 2015 Renegade and started having this problem. Just ordered the part today and should be in before end of next week. I'm having my son put it in for me. This video will help, but may still contact you again with questions as he attempts this.
Angela Whittington what was the part number of the part you ordered
The part we got did not fit and I could not wait another week to get this taken care of so my son took the fan off the new part and put it onto the old assembly. Then we had issues where we thought it kept blowing the resistor, but it ended up being an issue with the fuse. All in all, this Jeep is as Rust Belt Auto states "A Piece of Junk". I will go back to a Wrangler as soon as possible.
Love your commentary. I feel the same way 👍
appreciated! love them childproof connectors
Thunbs up, I have a 2015 Jeep Compass 33 K miles. Just changed the compressor intermittent a/c like the renegade and P0481 code too. Thanks so much I think it's the fan.
There is a recall on those fans now.
@@RustBeltAuto I live in the Bahamas. Is it safe to order one online? Or will I be better off getting it through dealer here?
@@nestofrmnics if there is a recall, your dealer will fix it for free.
Great video. Im having the same issue.
Benjamin Castillo from the looks of the thing, everyone is going to have the same issue.
👋Sir very nice explanation
Theres a recall for a inspection on the shield on the motor if it fails you get a new fan. Call your dealership and fine out if your vin falls in the recall.
Yes. Now there is a recall.
I called and they said there was no recall on this
@@DeeDunn79 that's a lie I had a recall repair done and they are gonna replace it again
I'm going through the same with my junk, but the fuse is good, I tested the fan it's good, I'm thinking that sensor on the fan itself or another sensor
Subbed.................100% Junk love it! That is Italian Junk with the Dodge Jeep name! Awesome video man , you sound so much like me. I swear just a little bit more though!
Thank you for subscribing.
Isn't that a double negative? So it's now a positive?
Got a 16 Rene too & had the fan replaced, a/c, power seat, & windshield washer hose worked on luckily under warranty now the rear exterior door handle broke out of warranty! Still like it a lot for the creature comforts, but will I keep it...????
For a cheap 4WD car, I would get like a Kia Sportage, long before thinking about one of those European morphodites, and am personally a CR-V lover.
Great video. Wish I knew the renegade was junk before I let my mom buy it (2017 27k miles). Gonna go look and see if you got any Honda videos. Since that’s all I’ve ever driven my entire (accord, civic, ridgeline, Integra) life and have had zero issues.
There is a recall on that fan. I have d16 turbo civic youtube drama.
@@RustBeltAuto yeah the recall doesn’t cover my vin number. Already called corporate about it. I’m gonna pull it same as you and post that melted shit all over the internet. Probably send it to headquarters. I think there’s a lawsuit dealing with as well. I’ve seen a few cars that have burnt to the ground over this issue.
@@GassyJalapeno I think the lawyers used this video.
@@RustBeltAuto haha!! We’ll I’m sharing the shit out of it on Reddit r/JeepRenegade
Wasn’t a lot of info on there about this issue. Is APDI junk better that the mopar German junk?
@@GassyJalapeno don't know. Just got some cheap Chinese wholesale part, and seems to be holding up.
This video is a bunch of junk and I love it. You are hilarious my friend.
Great vid man. Giving you some love from the great state of Virginia. But yeah my junk just took a shit on me yesterday, 43000 miles. Me and my father in law are going to use your video to fix my very much loved junk on wheels. You have any good suggestion for an online retailer that sells the fan? Totally subbed BTW.
I got mine from a local warehouse. Any parts store has those. I'm sure they are selling like hotcakes. Thanks for watching!
U the man 👨 🙌
Nice to see some coolant in bottle its seems there is little or none in my:(Overheated after 10 miles.Help!
...SAME PROBLEM FOR ME AT 62000 MILES... DROVE IT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. ...
THEY SAID ...YEP YOU BROKE IT ....SO I LET THEM OWN IT...
...I SURE DO LOVE MY NEW TOYOTA RAV4 ... NO MORE FAKE CHEAP-JEEPS FOR ME!!
Smart man.
Had mine replaced under warranty by dealer, the fan they put in had a metal back on the fan, same part #, Well, we'll see how long it last!
Do you have an extended warranty, or did it actually not even last 30,000 miles?
@@RustBeltAuto No, luckily it died with just over 25,000 miles! Great video BTW!
I love how much this guy hates the Renny
I have a 2015 Sport with 40000 miles the engine ran hot and the fan stopped working and fuses blew out. I’ve replaced the fan and relay that comes with a new fan, replaced the fuses twice now. It blew out again any idea what else could be wrong or what is causing them to keep burning out the fan replacement lasted maybe 2 weeks.
Stephanie Z if I was me, I would check to see how much amperage the fan is using, and make sure there are no shorts to ground. As a guess, there may be some melted wires, or another defective fan, or speed controller. Other than that, I have no idea. Difficult to know for sure unless it is staring me in the face.
It finally got below 100° here and got this fan fix. I can’t reset the engine light tho with my code reader thing. Any suggestions? Or did the light go off by itself?
If there is no problem, in time the light should turn off. Don't know how many drive cycles it will take. There will be a pending code with no light.
@@RustBeltAuto I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes. It reset. Fan is running smooth now as after I replace the fuse it would rev up for a couple seconds and the rev down over and over. Figure if it’s something else again the light will just come back on. I’ll just have my mom monitor the temperature. Thanks buddy. You’re awesome.
@@GassyJalapeno I would go to a parts store, and have them pull codes. Most will.
Well, looks like it has the same problem with my Audi. Same exact problem.
Any chance that Jeep can sponsor your next video? 😂😂😂😂
My sources say no.
I have a 2017 Renegade and recently had my radiator replaced. My mechanic called and said I also need to have my a/c condenser serviced simply because it was in the way of the radiator and had to be removed in order to replace the radiator. This will cost me another couple hundred dollars to service my ac condenser with 1234yf freon. Mind you he let me know about the ac condenser after the fact. I double checked this with a dealers service dept and the rep assured me that that shouldn't be the case (removing the ac condenser to replace radiator). However when I mentioned that to the mechanic he assured me that the dealership didn't know what they were talking about and the he absolutely had to remove the ac condenser. Is this true? And if so, would it then be necessary to have the freon replaced? Sorry, I know that was a long winded question! Thank you for any information!
Ask someone else.
@@RustBeltAuto Will do. Nice video btw, keep up the great work.
There is now a recall on the fans. Had mine replaced yesterday.
The lawyers probably showed the judge my video. Case closed. About time.
What was the part number of the replacement?
ealthouse cannot remember. I got it wholesale from a warehouse from like a certifit type outfit.
That heat shield isn’t working. That’s why it melted the fan motor interior? Also couldn’t we get the new fan motor and mount it on the other original mount? You said after market fans won’t fit back correctly so why not just get the new fan motor and put it on the original mount? It looked easy to take off when you dissected the old fan. I have a 2015 renegade and this scares me. So far nothing has happened. My 3 years ends in October and I haven’t reached 20,000 miles yet. I have a feeling it’s that heat shield area that’s messing up the fan. Not a car guy but seems like it now for sure after your dissection of the old fan. Now I’m really worried lol. One more thing I heard that removing the oxygen sensor is not a good idea because of the threads might get damage because heat from that area. Someone else said that in another TH-cam video. I can’t trade my Jeep in I’m already underwater so I gotta stick with it and pay it off. All these problems people report are making me nuts though.
Josh Mann if you can get just a motor go ahead. It came as an assembly for me so I put it all in. Maybe other manufacturers have a better fit, I don't know. If the threads come out, you need to tap, or chase the hole, and buy a new sensor. That usually always fixes it. If not heli-coil. That thing looked to me like it turned into an electrical toaster, not from manifold heat, but I could be wrong.
Sorry to say but you got a lot of things wrong. The heat shield works otherwise the plastic motor housing will have melted already. Yes it is ok to remove the oxygen sensor. I have to agree with this mechanic that the motor was poorly designed using a bushing instead of a ball bearing.
You can't simply remove the motor from its housing due to the fan blades. Would have been nice. If I were to design this part it will be like that . Easy to take apart and reassemble.
This problem is not just Jeep's problem. My Audi had the exact same problem and it cost me more to fix. For the same quality the part itself was more expensive. Labor too was more expensive.
This is a fairly common problem due mainly to the failed bushing. Ball bearings last much longer.
Just had mind replaced today on a 2015 with 49,000 miles
I JUST HIT 49,546 AND BAM! REPLACING THE FAN TOMORROW !
Mine just hit 43000 and crapped on me.
just got a 2022 now I'm worried haha
Bought a used 2015 Jeep Renegade, having thermostat issues its under 20k
I have a video for that.
Anyone know the part number ??
Depends. They are all Chinese reboxed, except for the dealer. Every supplier has a different number on the same part, and everyone sells them. They were probably flying off the shelves, until they got recalled. Call the dealer, they might replace it for free.
It’s fiat now ( FCA) 500x have the same problem
Smells German.
Yeah I have one of these and they are honestly crap Santander had a mass lawsuit against them for oil consumption
I think they used my video for that.
@Rust Belt Auto sounds about right. Now I'm having to swap out the radiator because it's leaking. Your right straight up junk
I’m big foot I am
Wow that’s just all I can honestly say is wow. How could for one u dis a freaking Jeep their the most patriotic vehicle in America in my opinion and secondly like three different times he says himself he don’t know what he’s doing he’s never done it before!?
New Jeep's are not patriotic anymore. This one in particular is a sellout to Fiat. Furthermore, there are soo many different vehicles, and problems on the road, that technicians easily forget what they did yesterday, and learn something new about every 30 minutes, mostly because people don't know what they are doing.
😂😂 funny jeeps
Lol “brand new piece of junk”
Scotty Kilmer said very clear Do not buy any :german,fiat,alfa romeo..bmw..mercedes..range rover..some gm..the list is long...buy Toyota,Honda..ONLY..COMPRENDE..!!!
Who's Scotty Killmore?
@@RustBeltAuto Scotty Kilmer a mech in TH-cam for over 50 yrs experience..! You did know him? You need to learn from him..!!
@@arriagada1957 Think I can do without watching some old dude jabber about how much he knows. Thanks.
I agree! Piece of junk!
jeep is so cheap { yes i got 1 } but man after the fan tear down it really makes me mad that they charge so much and can't and don't want to fix it being money hungry company. Cars ain't what they use 2 be anymore just cheap plastic.
It has a 36,000 mile warranty. What would you expect? If the car makes it to 36,001, it's a win. 10/100 is a better car. The warranty tells you how well built the car is going to be. 3/36 is the worst warranty out there. Maybe next time they will try for 1.5/18. See how that sells.
Plastic happens to be a very expensive material. Just go to a plastics dealer.The failed component in the motor was metal not plastic. If that assembly was made of metal can you imagine what the weight will be?
The failed component was a metal bushing where they should have used a regular ball bearing.
Are the engineers listening?
The engineer who designed this motor must be a product of the dumbed down liberal educational system. Cheapen the product to reduce carbon footprint.
Italian made junk...oil consuming 2.4L engine and an even worse Z9 transmission.
