I doubt it�s the water pump, inlet and outlet are hot. But a closer look at the tsu to the gauge shows the wires are spliced with a wire nut and the connector is kind of lose. Looks like I got a weekend project to trace the wires from the tsu to see where they go and see if I can rewire it. Now to find out if anyone in town has a connector to the tsu or if I can replace the wires. But I will still be a tad Leary about the temp until I see it go down with out running the heater.
