Title: Temp gauge switch
Post by RichardMS on Jun 29^th, 2006, 8:34pm

Does anyone know which one of these is the temp gauge switch ???

They are for a 2.3 BTW
Also would it hurt to leave the plug for this disconnected, Aux water gauge going in instead.

The one with 1 (one) wire going to it is for the gauge the other one with 2(two) wires is for the ecu.

looking at them the left hand one looks like the gauge sender .

hi there

yep, the one on the left. watch putting it back in. there should be a gap between the sensor the the plastic/ brass housing. if you go to far, the brass 'nut' will just rip out of the plastic manifold. :(

that's how i found out about 'quick steel'. ;D

Thanks guys for the replies, Craig, Not needing a new one, putting a separate temp gauge in ;)
Snoopy, Just to let you know they both have two wires, thats what confused me ;D
SM, thanks for that, Don't want to break the new manifold do I :o
