Re: Temperature gauge goes well past halfway when outside...
I would start with checking the fan clutch if thats fine do a completed cooling system flush and replace the thermostat if you are still having problems replace the water pump

Page 150 onwards of the owner manual covers the heating.
The digital gauge is giving the temperature of the coolant in the block. The normal, standard analogue gauge have the optimum at halfway and overheating is shown as being above that.

The low side reading will usually correspond with the dash temp,45 lbs at low side should equal 45 degrees f at the dash with a medium fan speed and 70 to 80 degrees f outside temp with a good air flow through the condenser.(fan placed in front of vehicle).
You have a water intrusion problem. The first step is to locate where the water is coming into car. The water is apparently getting in the wiring harness.
Given the outside temperature, that is what I would expect to see. The coolant temp is only increasing in fast freeway driving because the engine RPM is constantly faster than around town operations.
Had the same problem, replaced the ambient air temp sensor in front of the radiator. Cost is like 10-15 bucks. Don't worry if temp doesn't change right away. Took me about 5 miles and then it worked great.
you need to go to the parts house and purchase an ambient temperature sensor. that is the sensor that tells the car what the outside temp. is. I hope that helps you out.
