what! There's another 90fox [Frown]

The temp gauge rising with the lights on is common. Every 5.0 I see does that. I heard it's because of a bad ground but I have not clue if that's right.

Yea, if you have pets fur can do it. One time I had this issue and it was fur. My dogs were kept in the garage with the car.

Also try the other stuff mentioned.
