radiator fan on full blast for no apparent reason

I think so. The one on the drivers + firewall corner of the head near the battery, belowa little rectangular platform, where bruceb described


The intriguing part is that the gauge (and AC) after I changed the sensor work for a few seconds on startup, but then stop working again. It's kind of throwing me for a loop. I'd really like to get this figured out asap, as no AC in oklahoma in july with a 1hr commute is a major, major pain

You posted that you got it checked at o'reilly at more or less the same time I replied. No need to get hostile, I'm only trying to help.

Dropped it off at the dealer Tuesday morning. They didn't even look at it til Thursday, when it advanced to "the technician is looking at it, he's not getting any communication from the PCM so he's waiting on a call back from (someone mumbled) for more direction. Thursday evening though they gave me a rental on their dime so it's all good. A nice new Focus with sync, which I now have to have in my next car


They didn't contact me on Friday or today, but im in no hurry. I just have a bad feeling that this is gonna end up costing a lot more than expected, both due to them not knowing what's wrong right away, and them maybe trying to recoup some cost of the rental by charging me extra labor or something

Got it back today. The wire from the sensor to computer was bad. Only took 7 days to find and fix. $250

Glad you got it fixed. We were on the right track!
