What is your Volts reading at this time?

Have you run the thing until the coolant fan came on by itself?

What is the coolant level anyway?

Do you get heat from the heater core?

Check your grounds and such, the electricity may not be flowing around
like you think, This includes not only the major ones in the engine bay
but the cluster up under the steering wheel/ dash.

PS- I haven't touched on running too rich or anything yet.
