The water pump finally failed Tuesday, after 250,000 miles. The system to warn of temperature change failed, because it was connected to the suddenly failed water pump itself which recorded the change but failed to send it to the dash gauge.
Thus, when the pump failed, the gauge on the dash did not register it, except that then the check engine light came on, since it senses other symptoms of engine failure.
It was in the shop for 2 days. $2,000 later, we are back in business, now, with both. Luckily the motor was OK, did not overly over heat. It has been a bad two weeks for the cars.
