I asked around and installed an electric fan with wiring because my old factory fan broke. The fan had one blue and one black 16G braided wire coming directly from the fan. I attached the black (ground) to a bolt on the frame. I routed the blue to the switch and to a fuze to the positve side of the battery. I used a braided 12G 20 amp fuze assembly and switch. I used wire nuts and electrical tape to cover the splicing. I used braided 16G blue and black wire to attach the existing blue and black fan wires. The fan never turned on via the switch when I turned the key to the on position or when I started the vehicle. I tried switching the two blue wires to oppposite sides of the switch and still nothing. What could I be doing wrong? How could I do it all better? Any answers?
A 96 GC should have a regular belt driven fan. 16 ga wires are not big enough to power any type of fan motor, Are you sure they are not 14ga?. If the factory fan broke, just replace it. Try hooking the wires directly to the battery, make sure it spins the right direction, if not, reverse the wires but make sure the fan is on the right way, you may need to flip it over. The fan should be hooked to a thermostat, you dont need the fan spinning 100% of the time.

I have a 1996 cherokee sport. The heater controls seem to only opperate the defrosters. Fan runs fine. But sliding control makes no change in heat dirrection What could be wrong. I does not change to floor area. If it is cable the feel of control seems fine. Or is this electronic / vacume
