[V8] Overheating, loss of electric fan 92 V8 4.2

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

Pull both sensors (1 in head 1 in radiator = same sensor), fan should  
default to high.  On my v8's I always pull the plug to the radiator, cuz I  really 
don't care what it reads, it's what's in the head that I want the fan  reacting 
to.  If you pull the radiator sensor plug, the ecu defaults to  using the one 
in the head.

Pardon  me for posting this on more time, but I posted the wrong part number 
in the  previous post :)

My 92 V8 4.2 seems to be running a bit  hot.

When driving along at 80 kmh (50 mph), the temperature is about 99  C / 210 F.
If I'm then slowing down to about 50 kmh or less, the  temperature will rise 
to 105 C (221 F) or even as much as 110 C (230 F)!!
I  had to set the climate control to "HI" to get the temperature down today, 
and  it sank to about 99 C / 210 F.

I have tested the electric fan with  diagnostics and it's working. It goes 
through all three speeds, but even at  110 C/ 230 F it has not started to run...

I have ordered two new  temperature switches (077 919 501), and the 
thermostat is new (87 C / 188  F)

Hope someone can help me  here...

/Dag
