Warren99 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 This is a continuation from the r12 to r134a thread. For those who don't know, 14 is the plug for your electric fan. You may be in the same situation as me if you or a PO swapped your oem driver side radiator hose for a later model hose, leaving nowhere for the electric fan sensor to go. Does anyone know if/where you can just buy the parts new(talking about 19, 10, 20, 15, and 18)? I'd rather just do that so I have new hoses but if not I might already know of an XJ that has them.

eaglescout526 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Well I can provide some part numbers later. In the mean time you could always snag the hose from an XJ you know that has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren99 Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 any 88 XJ should have it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 IIRC, that setup was used on vehicles with dealer installed air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Not sure what you've got going on, but the stock radiator should have a spot for the fan sensor in the tank. Sometimes there is a problem when people swap to the later radiators to eliminate the pressure tank because some do not have the fan sensor provision. I used Performance Radiator and it accepted the factory 1988 sensor and eliminated the pressure tank. https://shop.performanceradiator.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=7809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren99 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Yea I feel like an idiot. Both the 88 and 89 XJ at the junkyard had the sensor screw right into the radiator, rather than the hose setup like in the diagram. It wasn’t til then that I remembered I had an OEM 87 MJ radiator at home, so I’ll be using that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC probably left it out of the diagrams due to the fact that it could be found easily with the part number stamping and would be a simple part order vs a dealer install kit that would need the diagram.

Warren99 Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Just realized I never updated this. Got the new oem style radiator in and the fan works when they a/c is on. Didn’t kick on when the engine started to over heat, which happened bc there was lots of air in the system that I forgot to purge. Either way, now that all the coolant is in, it will idle just a hair over 210, and it stays there whether a/c is on or off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
