What is this sensor? This is in the passenger side head. The wire broke, so I soldered it, but it's broke again. If I remember, I didn't notice anything when it was disconnected. There is another one on the driver side head which I believe is the temp gauge, right?

 

fan switch, yep

 

The passenger side fan, right? I was thinking about hard wiring a switch on that one anyway.

 

Hey I got a question about the switch and its wire. Does the wire for this switch come from the same group of wires that is also housing the starter wires? and is this wire a black wire as well?..... Not sure if there will be much difference between years.


Thanks

 

Hey man, hate to tell ya but that sensor is broken... go to pep boys, and get a new one... I had the same problem many times lol.

 

What do you mean broken? The wire broke so I soldered the wire to the brass and now it's broke again. What would be the difference in a new one?

 

.

 

If i remember correctly It should have a small disk shape at the tip of what is "broken", the wire connector slips over that disk.

 

I guess what I was saying is, as long as the wire is connected to the brass tip it should work, right?

 

theoretically

 

Heh... They lost my account so I am not really a newbie. Here is a tip that I used on my Iroc to make it run really cold. The wire that is supposed to connect to that sensor, splice on another section of wire if needed and then attach it to a Grounding point. This will make the 2nd fan run when the key is turned forward. In turn, it will make the engine run much cooler. I usually saw 180* daytime and 160* at night.

 

soldering that wire isnt gonna work, the solder will melt every time the motor warms up...u gotta find another way to connect the wire

 

Hehe. I was gonna point that out (about the solder melting), but someone beat me to it. And I believe permenantly grounding that switch will eventually burn out the relay. At least that's what happened to me. :/

 

Don't do this, you don't want your car running that cold. If you must, take the wire connected to the switch and run it under your steering column into the car and put a switch in your fuse box, then to a ground. That way you can switch the fan on when you want your car to cool down.
