When the car gets to running temperature and i am stuck in traffic the fan turns on but the temperature gauge stays in the same position(in center).Does the focus have 2 speeds for the fan and the slow speed keeps the gauge in th center.2001 1.8tddi and it has a/c.

    the ac fan has 2 speeds since its not warm right now and diesels run cooka it sounds like either the coolants low or the fan temperature switch is faulty or the thermostats stuck.
