Ford Explorer Thermostat Problem
Hello, the temperature gauge on my explorer never makes it to the middle. It takes a long time for the vehicle to warm up and eventually the gauge will rise but stop about a 1/3 of the way and lean torwards the cold end. The gauge will fluctuate sometimes when you put down the pedal. I had the thermostat checked and they said it was fine. Any suggestions?

I'll do that. If the thermostat is bad, would the gauge not even move?

nope, it would just stay partially open
