My Temp gauge bottoms out past hot. When first turned on and even when turned off, it only goes a bit past the hot towards cold. It has 105,000 miles. Also, I cannot tell if my fan is kicking on. I replaced the 40A buss fuse already, just in case. Let me know if you know what else I can look for. I made sure the radiator fluid was full, and it was.

Thank you,
Rick

Fords have lots of trouble with temp gauge senders. Make sure you find the right one(usually there are two--one for the gauge and one for the engine management systems) and replace it.
