Good day gents
Im new to this group all the way from South Africa.
I've got a problem and hope to get some advice. A week ago my fan just went on by itself and after I've checked I've notice the one fuse(7.5) was blown. Changed that and the fan still stayed on wich then lead me to the temperature sensor by the thermostat.(thats after a few days ouple of calls and some research by Dr Google) changed the sensor now the fan is all fine however the temperature is now sitting at 92 to 95 deg. Prior to me doing anything it would stay at 80 and only rise above 80 on a mountain pass or so. What have I've done wrong or forgot to do to get the temperature back at 80.

Any advice will help
Regards
Elrich

Hello and welcome

~90’ sounds right to me for engine running temperature

Like he said.90-95 spot on. 80 is too cool.

90 to 95 is correct. The fan was probably cutting in too soon or permanently engaged. Now functioning normally.
