Low coolant light coming on, coolant up to mark, no leaks, checked radiator fan fuses and relays, temperature gauge right at middle mark, not over heating.

MAYBE THIS "THINGEE" IS UNPLUGGED OR JUST "PLAIN OLE" WENT BAD

WHEN I INSTALLED YOUR INFO (GUESSED YOU HAD A 6 CYL), IT PULLED UP ALL OF THIS

LOOKS LIKE THEY SELL THE CONNECTOR TOO.......HMMMMM...WONDER WHY!

MUST HAVE PROBLEMS IN THAT DEPARTMENT TOO

THE PART I LIKED WAS THE CONNECTOR COST IS 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF THE SENSOR COST

DON'T YOU WISH YOU HAD SOMETHING SIMPLE, WHEREAS, ABOUT THE ONLY PLASTIC FOUND ON IT ARE THE SHIFTER K.NOBS AND THE STEERING WHEEL, AND IT WOULD LAST LIKE....FOREVER?......LIKE A '46 WILLYS JEEP???
