5V to the sensor?

That's a new one on me. I thought that the chemical reaction in the sensor created a low voltage and transmitted that to the brain.

Please explain further.

I did ground the wire to the oil temp sensor, simulating a cold engine. This caused the brain to go to a constant 60% like it should, so maybe it's still got some intelligence. It warms up and then (today) fluctuates between 60 and 70%.

We are just off Sleepy Hollow Road, close to Congressional School, just west of Seven Corners.
