Since the thermostat is set for 195 I don't think you have a problem. Don't know about the fan switch but usually they are not too hard to get to.

Normal gage reading will be 198-210 depending on load. Fan switch seldom go bad, more likely fan motor, and its a bit of a bastard to change. Unbolt top radiator mounts, then from bottom, remove the single retaining bolt for the cooling fan housing located center of radiator area. Remove the six bolts that hold the lower "crossmember" the radiator sitson and gently move it and the radiator foreward to gain enough clearnace for fan assembly to drop out.. Nut that holds fan balde on motor is left hand thread.

On a 2002 the fan goes on with the AC. Easy check.
