Just today, while driving I looked to check my gas level, and noticed my CHECK GAUGES light was on. I was looking at everything, and the only thing I noticed was the temp was a little higher. The highest it got to even driving home in a little traffic is the 3/4 mark 240? I got home and added more coolant thinking that was it, but didn't really help at all. I know I needed a flush since last year also because it was "****" brown in there. So I decided to check out the t-stat to see if any gunk was on it, but it seemed ok. So I just busted out the hose and let the hose run through the radiator til it was turning clearer water. Put the stat back in and added new coolant. Even after all of that, it's still reading hot, and the temp being at the 3/4 line, I noticed the fans aren't on. Shouldn't they be? When I turn the a/c on they them come on. The car has been sitting now for over any hour, after flushing all the hot dirty water out, and the temp is still reading at that mark. What could be wrong? I changed the waterpump last year. The t-stat was changed 2 years ago with the 160 stat. Any insight would be helpful.
