Temperature Sensor

[HuGo]

Quick Fashion question. If my OBC is reading -40 and it blinks when car is first turned on, does that mean i do, dont have the sensor? If i dont have the sensor, is this the one i need to buy?

The sensor is probably gone or not connected. Just crawl under the car and check (it should be stuck in your driver side brake duct.

And at first glance that looks like the sensor you need.

yeah i have the same problem....comes to find out that the sensor was completely ripped out..........and a two wires are still hanging there. Anyone know what colors those wires are just to make sure im getting the right wires for the temp. sensor?

~$25 from Pelican (13-62-1-739-510).

Does your plug look like it would fit?
