Scott -

I had the same problem with my wifes 94 100 wagon.  If you are handy with a
soldering iron you can replace the blown bulbs yourself.  The bulbs are like
$2 at Radio Shack and it takes longer to take the dash apart then to do the
soldering.  It sounds like the bulb to the temp sensor is blown also.
Simple fix or you can buy the new modules from the dealer at about $150 a
piece (I think that is what they quoted me).
