Starting last week the temperature gauge in my car has been sitting at the 1/2 way mark which is not typical. Although it has been beetween 80-100 degrees here in DC! It usually sits at the 1/4 mark. When driving on the highway it stays just below 1/2 way mark. When using the AC it ran as high as the 3/4 mark. I stopped driving the car at this point as I did not want it to overheat. Checked the coolant and is good. I hope it’s not the fan? Thoughts please? Thanks Michelle
