@wpoll, I think the diesels are completely different for that.
@andrewwynn Yes, it seems the aux fan only comes on with the coolant hose sensor.

The car set an SES code for shorted coolant temp sensor it thought the reading was erroneous it seems.
The sensor would be almost shorted at that high of a temp.

When I first checked into it I had the DME side (voltage) pulled down all the way to (simulate) 142 C and neither fan or coolant light came on, when I snipped the gauge side though the light did come on. I think it only will come on with DME temp if it thinks the gauge side has failed so that is what I am going to check into next.
