Default Maybe Overheating?

Hey all, I have a slight problem with my 93' Si stock except for exhaust , The cluster says I am overheating but the car isnt. Anyway I can fix this problem? I just recently replaced the radiator and fan belt and I thought that might just fix the problem. I really need help guys, I am starting to get scared driving this car.

sounds like the thermostat is stuck closed, remove it and see if it fixes the problem. if it operates better, buy a new thermostat.

check the top hose that goes to the radiator and compare it to the bottome one if the temp is different then change the thermo also is you fan coming on all the time or is it coming up at all if not it just the temp bulb other word a sensor in the back by the dizzy change it out ......
