The first one comes on at 228 the second at 238. It always a good idea to pull the top radiator shroud off and clean inbetween they are fast vacumme cleaners.

Hi

See the diagram below for how it is wired, the is a temperature switch
in the head. Some have it on the right side oh the engine, some have the switch on the left side.

You can simply unplug the wire from the switch and ground it to test it,
The engine temp gauge is on the other side with a spade terminal.
