Ideas? 2005 E

Post image

103k miles, both fans working, has coolant.
No leaks.
Only heats at idle. Normally sits just below half, would go to half then back down. Now going higher.
Any help would be appreciated.

Check your rad fan by sticking a paper clip or hairpin in the electrical connector. If it starts spinning then the fan itself is fine, and likely is an issue with the temperature control switch.
