Dealer changed the temp sensor to green one, but
the temp gauge still reads 1-notch down from a "H" when it idles. What else should be looked at? or Is it ok?

yeah... it could be...
a cluster... cuz the cluster does hallucinates occasionally. The Fan thermostatic switch is the one that connects to red & white wire??

Dunno about the switch...>>
It's located about one third of the way up on the drivers side of the radiator...
If your clusters going wonky, that could be it...
Are the fans cycling wihen sitting at idle with the AC off? That would be one way to troubleshoot...That and the actual coolant temp actuated through the HVAC controls..

Thanks!
The fan does cycle with AC on. I will pay much closer attention, but it seems that the fan doesn't come on when it is needed with AC off. Thanks as always, Steve!

hmmm, what do you guys think?
well my gauge cluster has be been acting like crap lately, lines through the pixels, dimming, ect. The temp sensor has also been going on and off, sometimes with the oil can alarm flashing.
is this at all related or indicative of failure of these parts? I'm looking at replacing the temp sensor now.

also.
my fan does not seem to come on at any particular time. I dont think I can attribute it to any particular time or instance, it just comes on occassionally. Never really paid attention to this since I never heard a fan come on after driving. Only recently have I heard a fan come on after driving which has made me very curious! What the Hell?
