Sounds like your cooling fan relay is bad the jeep grand cherokees are known for this, first thing i would do is unplug the radiator cooling fan and run 2 jumper wires direct from the battery to the fan connector if the fan kicks on your fan motor is good and the relay is bad, if the fan doesnt kick on replace the fan motor with a new unit, the cooling fan relay on your particular model jeep is located under the passenger headlight and requires you remove the front bumper to replace it, however some people cut a small hole under the headlight to access the relay the faster way but if your not to keen on cutting holes in your car remove the bumper and replace the relay if the fan checks out and you wont be overheating anymore...

I have replaced the radiator on my 2000 Grand Cherokee and now the on board computer reads" open circuit"in the place where the temperature should be displayed. please assist.

Either your temperature sensor is unplugged or it has failed and is giving you that reading. (most likely cause...if not, start checking wiring from the sender and make sure any electric cooling fans are plugged in as well.

RADIATOR FAN WON'T TURN

The radiator fans work off a temerature sender unit that is located either on the engine itself or on the radiator tank it detects how hot it is, a bit like a thermometer.

This unit opens and closes through a bimetal strip enclosed within the unit it completes a circuit and allows power to flow to the electric fan thus cooling the vehicle.

I would suggest that you have this sender unit checked and repalced as necessary.

OVER HEATING AND NO WATER IN HOSES

temp sender unit may be faulty! as this activates the fan!
Check thermostat & hoses & their clamps aswell! as you may have a leak somewhere.
check if oil is clean & not milky!
milkyness indicates head gasket leak or warped or cracked head!
Cheers Rob.

Engine over heating.

freeway driving gets more air across the radiator
so the temp sender unit is faulty as this activates the fan by completing the fans circuit!
replace it & al should be A OK !!

1989 Jeep cherokee Laredo over heating and the fan wont kick on, plenty of water in the radiator? How do I check to see if it is the thermostat sticking closed?

when it's overheating check to see if the lower radiator hose is hot. if not therm is bad. If OK, check temp sensor on thermostat housing. signal from there goes to the computer, then to fan relay to turn on fan.
