The gauge is reading half way between the mid and lower part of the instrument. As for the coolant, it's fine and is topped off.

Or the water valve could have broken internally.

To rule out the water valve you need to undo the cable that goes to it. try to turn it by hand. It should only turn so far. Kind of like a ball style water valve in your house. If it spinns around and around its bad.

Then read the attachment and try adjusting the cables. Disconnect the cables under the passenger dash and then turn the knob to full heat then fallow the adjustments. I like to work my way down the line doing the blend door first then go under the hood and set the water valve.
I will check this out as soon as the weather warms up a bit, thanks.
