I'm thinking the sensor that turns the fan on/off (not the sensor for the guage). When the AC is on, the temp is rock solid where it's supposed to be. I got the sensor from the stealership but it looked different (not as long). There has to be a reason that a longer probe is better!!!
I could be wrong (it happened... once) but I don't think I've ever heard the electric fan come on without the A/C. I wonder if it would help if you wired in a manual switch for that fan to force it on.
