One fan didnt work but i straight wired it to the fuse. It works now but the temperature gauge still moves to the middle (not hot). Could i need a new thermostat?

The gauge is supposed to move. Between 190 and 210 degrees. About a 1/16 to 1/4 inch movement with the needle. If it goes from middle(200 degrees) to hot(260 degrees) and back. Check the coolant level. Air pocket in the engine. Low fans come on at about 210 degrees. High fans come on at 225 degrees. High fans come on when the A/C is turned on. And it works.
Sounds like a fuse or an earth wire loose in the cabin. Take the fuses out and chk them in the light. Go thru all earth wires both in and outside the cabin, something is loose if not a fuse, remember fuses in the engine bay. cheers
If heat gauge reads normal, stays in the middle, then you do not need to mes up with the thermostat. I own a 2000 Chevy Venture and changing the thermostat was not fan. It may be the Temperature Control Module, which you can buy for $45 and replace without problem, or may be an partially obstructed heating core. The GM Dex-Cool antifreeze, the read one, has additives, but if you do not flush the radiator every 2 or 3 years, can result in partially clogged heater core. I have done on my car twice till now, and replaced with green Prestone, on my own risk. Hope this will help. If need more information let me know. A have the Haynes manual for Chevy Venture 2000, and I am a car dealer.
this problem is caused by a defective gas tank sending unit, the gas tank must be removed and the fuel level sending unit replaced. and yes I am sorry but it is very expensive to fix.
hi check the simple things first fuses then take the temperture senders wire off and ground it get someone to watch the temp gauge if the gauge is ok it will move straight into the hot if so change the sender switch then do the same with the fuel tanks sender unit wire if gauge is ok it will show full now presumming the gauges are moving and the fuses are ok the problem is on the clocks some cars have a removeable stablizer between the gauges if so it is a simple fix yates210456
