Perhaps you missed some of my comments? Lets try this again. Do you have access to a repair manual and a volt ohm tester? You need the repair manual to identify the location of each sensor and the expected electrical resistance from that sensor. Volt Ohm multimeter is free. . Note you could have as many as four temp sensors in your vehicle. (two in coolant, one in the air intake, ambient air, ...) . YOU NEED A REPAIR MANUAL. Chilton / Haynes are great sources... not much $$. Multimeters are cheap. Get one. Good luck with your repair.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the gauge reads off the sensor directly on top of the thermostat housing. I gathered this from when I tried to replace said sensor and a certain auto store gave me the wrong sensor. When I put it in and turned on the engine the next morning so it was completely cold the gauge immediately shot up ubove red. When the mechanic unplugged the other one the fan was not working before he did it. Once he plunged it back in it kicked on. Unfortunately I don’t have access to a tester | |
