That's what I was looking to hear (and about what I figured, but I
wanted to hear it for sure, since I'm not used to the gauge consistently
being at these temp ranges)
Thanks!

So is it doing more harm than good if in there and seized? Or is
there some
sort of bypass so it's just not helping, but not hindering either?
The seized motor current can cause trouble with the ACC system, but I'm
told that it doesn't impede coolant flow too badly. It's just a simple

Oh yeah, one other thing. Did I hear that there's an electric water
pump in the heater circuit that if failed would cause my heat to be

OK, took a look at the engine, thermostat looks like an obvious

hoping it's reusable.
