six2ohyea Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 So noticed my thermostat isn’t working. Is this wire supposed to be running to this part of the housing? (Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I’m not a mechanic by any means) Quote Link to comment
Ooph! Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 By thermostat you mean the temperature gauge correct? Yes reconnect that and the gauge should work Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 That wire is for the temperature sender that operates the temperature gauge reading. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 You can't be an idiot if you are capable of learning. You were perhaps just briefly ignorant. We're all born ignorant. 2 Quote Link to comment
six2ohyea Posted March 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 this is a temporary fix but temperature gauge is working now! Anyone have a part number for the wire adapter? Quote Link to comment
six2ohyea Posted March 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Also.. not sure if the crack in the photo will be an issue in reading accurate temperature. Quote Link to comment
Ooph! Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Should work fine as long as it does not leak it is an isolating material probably ceramic. If you can't re use the connector and no one has one this may fit https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SMP-S635 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Get and crimp on a suitable size female butt connector. It just presses onto the sender. 1 Quote Link to comment
