Mike,

<< Thanks for the education on that.  I was unaware that there was any
temp monitoring connection to the light. >>

   David's correct.  There's a fairly elaborate explanation of how the
gauge works in the 1989 owner's manual. (page 37)  One interesting
statement it makes states:  "When the engine is working hard, and in
stop-and-go traffic, or in hot weather, the needle can show a very high
temperature, but this is not serious as long as the warning light does
not flash."
