Last year I had my water pump replaced in a re-call. In the last week my temperature gauge has been going into the red. I replaced the thermostat and that is not helping? I am finding that if I turn my heat or air on the fan kicks in and the temperature goes down a bit but the needle never goes below the "L" in normal? Does this sound like I could have a rad problem?
I have a 98 Contour with 130,000 Km.

Please help!
