There is a good chance that your radiator cooling fan is not working properly. Some vehicles have a mechanical clutch that causes the radiator fan to operate when the vehicle is stopped or at low speeds. These clutches can wear out and need replacement. Other vehicles have an electric radiator fan that is controlled by a thermostat placed somewhere in the vehicle's engine coolant flow. Electric fans can malfunction and not pull enough air through the radiator to keep it properly cooled. The electric cooling fan's thermostat can go bad too.

What is wrong if check gauge light stays on in 1996 ford ranger?
Your check gauge light comes on if : your coolant temperature guage shows the temperature is high your oil pressure gauge shows the oil pressure is low or your fuel gauge shows the fuel tank is near empty
Why would the temperature gauge read cold when the antifreeze is low?
The temperature sender (the sensor that sends the temperature signal to the gauge) has to be immersed in coolant in order to correctly read the temperature. If the coolant is so low that it leaves the sender high and dry, the temperature shown on the gauge will not be a true reading. if the sensor is not immersed in the coolant, there a big chance it wont read at all...
What does the check gauge lights mean on a ford explorer sports trac?
