Hello all. For about two weeks now I noticed my A/C was not cooling off. A few days ago during my lunch break I attempted to turn it on and noticed that my jeep started over heating. I own a 2014 Jeep Patriot that I purchased it brand new in Aug. 2013, and I now only have 37,400 miles on it. I took it to the dealership to see if it was still under warranty and the service guy told me that the warranty ended at 36k. For being a new vehicle I shouldn't be having this problem but he wouldn't give me a break. He did reccomend I take it to a pep boys or to just trade it in, which is not going to happen. The fans don't seem to be kicking on at all. If anyone has any recommendations I can really use some! I'm sure it's a small fix. Pep boys wants to charge me around $981 to replace both fan motors.

fan has low and high
is it kicking at all?
simple check would be relays,
I think the relay is middle relay on the bottom,
if relay is good check fuse , I don't recall which fuse powers the AC fan relay, been a while for me, and don't have my fuse chart handy
when my AC fan went out it wouldn't kick into high,
I jumped the relay from the fuse box, was a temporary fix and not very practicle
it turned out my TPCM needed to be replaced ,

The fan motor was making a sqeeking noise on my 2010 Patriot last winter. It has over 80,000 miles on it, so I didn't even bother taking it to the dealer. I went to Rock Auto and bought a new fan for $38.00 and installed it myself. It is located behind the glove compartment, which you just sqeeze to remove. Remove three screws and one wire connector to replace the motor.

On my 2010 Patriot, I used a fingertip to pull the rear tab away from the box (from the bottom) and then up, and the lid popped off, pivoting on the front tab. I spent way more time figuring that out than I should have.

I just did some work on my relay box in October:
