Here is what I have done so far and what I plan on doing. But I need some input about what I may be missing.
1) The coolant was low three times after refilling it, so I plan on getting a new coolant cap.
2) The drivers side cooling fan works on both low and high speed, while the an on the passenger side is only working at high speed. I checked the relays and they are all good. Do I need to change out this fan?
3) The engine fan is working, I jumped the relay. Can the thermo sensor go bad?
4) Water pump and thermostat have 20,000 miles in 9 years. should I change them out?

Thanks, Jon
Mine gets past 180 ~ 200 deg, but never get a light and runs fine at this temp
