water temp sensors

Am I correct that there are three water temp sensors on my camaro?

1 on the passenger side head
1 on the intake manifold near the thermostat housing
1 on the driver side head

Is it one for the dash gauge, one for the ECU, and one for the fan relay?

Re: water temp sensors

There's only one sensor, the others are a switch and sender.

Re: water temp sensors

I see, when I was searching for parts they just show up as sensors, but through BWD's website they show up as sensor, sender, and switch.

TFS4 - Switch to Radiator Fan
WT359 - Sender to Temp Gauge
WT3000 - Sensor to ECU

Thanks guys!
