Hey so I have a 96 XLT with the OHV, my dad tells me we've had this problem for years, and I just got the Explorer from my Grandpa because she passed away. No matter how long I warm it up for or drive for the gauge stays between the little c and the bottom line and will never go above it. I know for sure that my engine warms up and the heater/AC both work no problem. I was first thinking that someone had taken the thermostat out, but my grandma only ever got it serviced by the dealership, and even if it was taken out the gauge would eventually warm up a little bit.
I was reading online and a few people replaced their temperature sending units and it worked again, so I tried it and nothing changed. I don't think it's the sensor because I know the engine warms up. I'm stumped on what it could be. I want to get it fixed because if it ever did start to overheat I wouldn't know until it actually happened, so any advice or anything could really help. Thanks!
