So I would be surprised if it was bad.
Also it is cycling way to fast for me to really think that that could be issue, it goes from below the first tick to well past hot in less than a second.
This, To me, sounds more like compromised insulation allowing an intermittent ground.
To your issue #1, mine does the same thing when the Viscous Heater clutch, and AC (defrost) clutch, cycle. Once warmed up, that stops though.
To give some closure to this thread, I finally have the issue sorted out. It was compromised insulation on a red and purple wire running from the main harness across the top of the head to the passenger side of the engine bay.
I think what happened was that I had been running the jeep without the engine cover on for most of the time that I had it, and then when I moved into my new house I just threw it back on and that wire got pinned in a peculiar way and wore through the insulation and grounded.
So thanks GordnadoCRD for the idea!
