Went To the dealership this morning, and they confirmed the fan is out, warranty is gonna cover a new fan, but the service personal decided to explain to me that these vehicles aren't meant to go off-road in wet conditions...lmao

You need to install a cut off switch for the fan when doing water crossings .

Is there a waterproof fan I can purchase or some sort of sealed fan?

Yep I was wrong lol, the best I had there was when the mechanic told he hasn't to replace a fan on a wrangler since he's been working there.

Short answer no. All you need to do is hook up a kill switch to the fan when crossing water.
