Check REAL temperature with a scanner. Likely it's your temperature sensor, which in your case, is located right above the thermostat. You're lucky, it changed locations in 2006 PIA, but 05 is easy.

Sounds like the sending unit.
That is where the wire plugs in for the temp gauge, on or near the thermostat housing.
