Hey guys,

I was doing some more tests in my car and I found that the temps could be changed by turning certains things on/off/up/down.

Once again here's how I have everything wired up:

Red +12V = ignition slot--above fuses under dash slot on the right

Blue = sender--wire is away from alternator

Purple = dimmer--gounded under shifter console

Black = gauge ground--12 mm bolt on upper part of throttle body

Remember I'm not an electrical expert so I have no idea why my car would be behaving this way.

stock temp reading is one tick below mid-point

364 F = all accesories off
360 F = fan 1 (idle ~500 rpm)
360 F = fan 2 (idle ~500 rpm)
349 F = fan 3 (idle ~800 rpm)
345 F = fan 4 (idle ~800 rpm)
338 F = AC on fan 4 (idle ~800 rpm)
360-364 F = hazards on--temp cycles between 360-364 same time as lights
357 F = foot on brake
364 F = window(s) down
360 F = window up
353 F = both windows up
360 F = pop up headlight button (returns to 364 F when headlights are up
360 F = parking lights on
345-349-334-338 F = headlights on
277 F = AC on, fan 4, hazards on, foot on brake, both windows going up, foot on gas @ 3.5K rpms
345-349 F = testing complete

what do you guys think?
