Erm...mphm...uh huh...uh...did you have this before?  Well you have it again.

Temp gauge reading low?  Is the fuel gauge correct?  If not, no doubt bad
voltage regulator on the panel -- it supplies fuel and temp gauge.  Should
be 10.0 +/- 0.5 volts input to the gauges.  Fan ought not to be coming on
with needle at LED.

Temp gauge reading ok?  Thermoswitch out of whack (activating too early)?

Changed after turning A/C on and off --- arrggghhhhh.  Suggest sorting out
the A/C fan wiring diagram in Bentley and seeing what's common to the A/C
and thermal activation.  If you need help yell, but I have v. limited time
just now.
