Replaced radiator, thermostat, coolant fan switch, fan relay,(fan was not working which fixed that problem). But now, the temperature gauge on dash after changing the coolant temp switch's. Before changing the "Switches" the temp gauge on dash worked. My car has two temperature switches. One is on the engine block, below the air cleaner and another one is on a rail that supplies coolant to the heater core. Part stores and repair manual's only list one temperature switch. the one on the block. What are these two switches that I mentioned? Both "switches" are threaded studs on both sides. Measuring 3/8" X 18 NPT.
