Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I thought of something you can do in the interim.

Try using the heater core and fan to bring down the temperature.
It is like adding on an extra radiator.
It’s something you can do to avoid an overheating problem while climbing mountains or extremely hot days.

Out west it’s a common knowledge thing for us old timers that uses the 255 air conditioner system.
That’s two windows down and 55 miles per hour. 🤗

It should make the temperature drop and it will prove that the gauge and sensor system has not run a foul electrically.

I hope this will lead you to an answer to what’s going on.

Phil
