Where does this go??!!

Post by DaveB19 »

Hi all, working on the car, came across this water sensor wire. Just below the dizzy. Cannot work out where it plugs in, guessing its been cut at some stage. Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave

Finishing off my build, car hasnt been running for over a year, so not sure. Guessing it isnt vital, might wire a water temp gauge direct to it. Wont be a problem for the ECU will it?

That only runs the water temp guage in the dash cluster...the water temp sensor is on the other side, with the green plug..above the cold start timer switch. :thumleft:

Yeah it wont effect the ECU, I snapped mine trying to remove it 2 weeks ago and the car works fine (just no guage on the dash).
