2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee - bad cooling fan relay causes engine to overheat when idling?

Question:
I've had this replaced 3 times now. Has this ever happened to your Jeep or anyone you know? I'm trying to determine if its just my Jeep or if its a bigger issue

Chevy/GMC owners: Any trouble with "running lights"?

i own a repair shop and it might be the relays your using on it,i went through a few of them on one jeep i was working on,i wouldn't buy one from advance auto ,or auto zone for this ,because they do burn out faster than other ones do,i got a box full of those things i collected from a junk yard,put a good one on it and it will last the others have a tendency to stick on even when the engine is off,and even though the fan isn't running it still burns the relays out on them,find a good relay and that should take care of it,good luck with it .hope this helps.

How much mileage do you think I'll get out of a 2003 cavalier?

Have you tried replacing the cooling fan or just replaced the relay? replace both again and see if that helps. And yes this is common on Jeeps.

Sr20det or rb25det?

I agree with dodge on this one. I will also add that an improper fuse in the fuse box will send too much current to the relay, causing premature failure. That's what I would check into.

Where can I get a replacement seat cover for my 1995 Chevy Camaro?

Are you replacing the right one? There is the one in the Fuse Box, but there is another one under the passenger headlight, below the header panel (a royal pain in the butt to get to). This is the one that goes bad most of the time, and no you aren't alone in that. I see quite a few of them.
