So - I swapped out the new coolant temp sensor with the old one last night
and went for drive in pretty warm weather - and the coolant temp gauge
again climbed to the same position as the new one did - approximately 75 to
80% toward the top and well past the blinking light indicator...and no
radiator fan kicking in.  I am beginning to suspect the radiator thermo
switch is faulty.  So I can't confirm whether the new coolant temp sensor
(from GW) is not calibrated correctly.
