Thanks for the video. I watched your video to learn any issues or problems you had replacing fan before I did mine today. Very helpful video and I got my fan replaced and running just under a hour. Mine is a 2016 renegade trailhawk. The clips holding fan in is just a push tab on the top two hold downs. I used a flat head slightly pushed and lift fan out way easy. Don't gotta force it or them tabs will break off.
Hey man, this video helped a lot. I was honestly about to just bring it into a dealer because of how nightmarish I thought it'd be to just replace the radiator fan. It has only been a year since a new fan was installed under warranty and the thing still blew. Cheers guy.
Thanks for this! (16 Renegade) I was stuck at the fan being wedged on the Header cover. You vid gave me the incentive to pull it off. I tried to get by without pulling off the O2 sensor, that didnt work, it needs to come off to make room for the fan also. I learned, you want to use some pieces of cardboard between your fan housing, and ac radiator, so it doesnt get marred up. So on reinstall, i put some cardboard in there, and pulled it out after done (wish i had some in there before removal though). I also broke the wire clip lock, getting it out with the screwdriver, be careful with these, they are easy, but also easy to break. I used a zip tie on it to make sure it stays mated. By the way, i definitely wasnt bringing it to the dealer, i was just worried i was going to have to pull off the top rail there, or the bottom one, or some hoses (arghh). Did NOT want to drop the water either. So worked out pretty good. Wear gloves, yes! Things are sharp there.
I am having all sorts of problems with my 2016 Jeep Renegade trailhawk ... first the fan burned out, the ac not cooling properly then the 4wd don’t work and to top it all off the leather in all 4 door panels have lifted 🥺 .... this car was supposed to last me a good 6 to 7 years I am so disappointed at its performance
I think the fan is a normal thing, easy to replace, once you've done it, or takes less than 2 hours(tool tracking down time included) if not. Need a 7/8th wrench, or 02 sensor socket, a 10mm 3/8th drive short socket, or wrench, small flathead for clip removals of the two separate wire clips, needle-nose to pop ac lines off, large flathead to press the top fan housing release clips in, or use your fingers, lift,shove left, twise counter clockwise, extract through the top, i had to flex the top lip of the fan housing first to get it carefully wedged over the front rail bar, after had that for an inch, then just pulled it up, till it was out. Putting back in is the reversal, put in some cardboard to protect your radiator fan, watch ac lines, you need to pry them forward as you shove fan past them, clockwise twist, snap in. Hope you had fun, im sure its done by now?? :-)
i no long have the renegade. sad day when it got wrecked. but yes i would recommend replacing the original fan. so many people have had issues with it.
Hi, budddy. I am from Ukraine. And i bought a used Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 2016 from USA with 39k mileage. Now i'm a little bit scared beacause of this issue. The container with car will arrive in a few weeks, and I dont know in whaht condition cooling fan is. On what mileage you faced with this problem? p.s. Thanks a lot for the usefull video
My brother just got his keep renegade and it only have 15k miles and had the problem prior to him buying apparently but dealer doesn’t let people know that when they want a car
@@lowlifegarage9367 ...I had a 2017 Latitude 4x4, traded it in December 2019. The engine and transmission constantly ran hot...some idiot engineer thought it was a good idea to cover the front grill in plastic...kinda hard for air to circulate sitting in traffic. The Z9 transmission doesn’t have an auxiliary cooler and is unserviceable...I did watch a guy drain and refill the the transmission with Amsoil full synthetic, he said it helped the shifting issues.
Its funny you say that. Two reasons, one german is supposed to be good stuff, darn. Two, is because when i pulled out the old one, it was the same fan. Either someone already had to replace this with mahle aftermarket, or the factory already had a mahle in there, but the mailorder i paid about 97 shipped, was also a mahle. In all fairness, our fan burned out because the batter terminal cover was stuck in it, was forgotten to be put back on, and costed a fan, fan housing, fuse, and couple hours labor. What a piece of shite! An old american 350 small block would have ripped right through that plastic when you fired up the engine! This little fan smoked up, couldnt handle being on, and not moving. It lasted for months, eventually into limp mode, then diedj last week finally. I had smelled burning plastic first, while it was in limp mode, so thats a clue that the fan is melting down. German stuff is supposed to be better than chinese crap!!
i dont remember the brand. i know it wasnt mahle. i really dont like there stuff anyway.. i ordered off rock auto. most factory part are made by the cheapest and fast company. aftemarket you can chose who you buy from. which i prefer.
Do not waste time. It’s full of useless information that will do nothing for you. It shows you little relevant information and none of that which is actually usefull
@@lowlifegarage9367 I am referring to ACTUALLY SHOWING the removal. You stop recording at the main event and the MOST DIFFICULT part. AND YES I DID DO IT ON MY CHEROKEE LATITUDE and runs great. And yes I did do some recording BUT MY INTENT WAS NOT TO POST MY INTENT WAS FIND PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED THE STEPS. ONE more time you simply stop at the most critical part. If you consider what I said "talking smack" then I am guessing you consider and accidental bump ASSAULT.
So far I've seen 55 seconds of your video, I love you all honesty I don't know what I'm doing but let's get to it
Tried to make it good. Cause I knew the fan was going to be a issue with alot of people .
I see I'm not the only one having this problem lol. Thanks so much for the video. I'm about to order the new fan now and rewatch this when it comes.
Yes its very common. Glad my video helps.

Yes I agree and alot of other people do also. There are problems with the renegades. Wish they did a better job of making them and better quality.

Dear sir....is the TYC fan still in service, will you advice to replace the taiwanese fan instead of the original one?
i no long have the renegade. sad day when it got wrecked. but yes i would recommend replacing the original fan. so many people have had issues with it.
@@lowlifegarage9367 thanks a lot for your advice
I'm in the middle of changing mine, I just can't remember which wiring harness goes to which plug.
I think each could only go into 1 plug. I don't think there the same plug.
@@lowlifegarage9367
I finally figured it out, thanks for replying.
Hello. This new fan is better then factory? Or the same? Maybe you have part number of it? Thx and greetings from Ukraine.
Yeah this fan is alot better I didn't want a factory replacement. Part number is TYC 623740
@@lowlifegarage9367 thx a lot I'll google it
Ty for the vids. Looks like I'll be doing this today
Glad I can help.
Hey i probably did mess something up idk to be honest but I put coolant in my car now the ac ain’t working
Thats strange cause the 2 have nothing to do with each other. Make sure everything is plugged in . Nothing got accidentally unplugged.
A fuse probably popped when your fan broke

Thanks . Dont be worried. It's not a big deal. It really is a easy replace.

Does the radiant fan stay on continuously when the Ac is on
No it turns on and off when needed.
Pode tira uma dúvida. Quando liga o ar-condicionado do Jeep renegede. A ventoinha liga o segundo estágio ou não
my spanish is really bad. i no longer have the jeep .it got wrecked a while back. i do miss it
Did you get a CEL? I have P0481 code.
no i never had a code. just started making noise and getting hot.
The original cooling fan is made by Mahle Corp. of Stuttgart, Germany...cheaply made junk...
Yes it was. New one was alot better quality.

Omg... no... a negative comment.. thanks for watching.
Would have been better if you actually showed the steps and the work.
thought i did. oh well thanks for watching
You're kidding right? If not, you might ought to let someone else do it?
then feel free to do it. dont just talk smack. do it . it was informative to all but you 2. again thanks for watching👍
