Tyrone, Larry, David, thanks for a quick response. However, still no
solution. Following the large hose from the water pump to the thermostat
housing (goes in the lower left side and out the upper right side), I
have examined this housing thoroughly and there is no place to connect.
Just below this housing is another housing for the temperature sensor and
there is a two-wire connector there, but no way to connect this single
red/yellow wire. The two wires from the sensor in the coolant reservoir
are enclosed in their own race and they also go into the black box on the
fire wall, but there is no place to plug in this red/yellow wire.
Reservoir is full.

When I started the van this afternoon, the red LED blinked as usual on
start up, then flashed dimly for about a block, getting brighter, then
full on red flashing. Needle does not move. Also noticed that the gas
needle did not go to full, even tho I just filled the tank.
