Hi, I’m new to the community and wanted to post about my problems with my commander.
I have a 2006 commander limited 5.7.
my hydraulic cooling fan was only running 100 to 500 rpm because the solenoid was not engaging. I replaced the power steering pump, power steering lines, coolant temp sensor, solenoid, whole fan assembly, fcm, tipm. After replacing all of this my solenoid was still not engaging. I used an autel 708 to manually engage the solenoid for the cooling fan and it worked so the pcm, fcm and tipm was functioning. I then proceeded to reset all computers with the autel and when I was resetting the pcm it gave me an error halfway through that it could not reset.
I have been at a loss for 3 months.
I finally decided to buy a universal thermostat, run one terminal grounded to the frame and the other terminal i tapped into the middle wire that was not hot or ground. It Worked like a charm. When it reached temp it completed the ground circuit and engaged the solenoid.
no more overheating and my next step is to connect a relay to the same wire and ac compressor relay it will engage when my ac is turned on.
