John,

Everything you mentioned sounded normal to me except for this one line.
There should be a high and low speed for the fan.  The high speed should
kick in as the needle creeps up past the led middle range.  I would check
to make sure that the fan motor, switches and sensors are operating pro-
perly to make sure that the fan works at the higher speed when it is
supposed to.

As a side note, I've noticed that my higher speed kicks in more often
than it used to.  I suspect either a tired thermo-switch or.... my
radiator core has some hot spots....  :(

Good Luck!
