So....I went to replace the coolant temp sensor--no dice. Actually I didn't even bother. Pigtail is destroyed. J/O had it holding on with silicone and electrical tape--View attachment 266960
Purple one is on my van--View attachment 266961
Big difference.View attachment 266962
Srs code--still there--View attachment 266963

Anyone know what this is about?View attachment 266964

You inspected that connector before you ordered the sensor didn’t you? You should have the pigtail on hand ready to go. Come on man you’re killin me

So....I row the front passenger window down. As it goes down it sounded like there was dirt or something on the window sweep.
Nope--View attachment 266965 View attachment 266966
This'll be the 4th or 5th ps regulator I'll be replacing. FML!!
When can I do fun mods on this *****??
She hates me! I still gotta check the front abs wheel sensors and replace a lower and upper zerk fittings--oh and get grease for it--and--try to adjust the sloppiness out of the steering box--AND---Get the BB tune!

Quit buying Dorman regulators unless you enjoy changing them! Sheesh. You’re making things ******* yourself.

O did look at the pigtail 1st, but I didn't realize how bad it was until I compared it to my van--I gambled that I didn't need it--but in the back of my mind I KNEW I'd need it, just based on my luck.
I was looking for a Dorman ect plug.
I just need the plug--comes with a sensor too.

Pic of your new sensor, of the electrical end? How many wires?

EDIT: not the same sensor as on your van, is it?

I hate when I ignore that little voice...
Did it last night while changing the gas line on my Snow blower. I knew I should have flushed it. Nope, got crap in the carb!

I mean, he had it taped on and it wasn’t working so all you needed to do was pull the tape and see what was hiding underneath. No harm since it wasn’t working. Like I said, you’re making it ******* yourself! The pigtail was the problem in the first place, bet when you replace that your sensor works.

Just 2 wires, actually the same as my van.
