Hello everyone
My Engine Coolent Temp Gauge isn't working. Last night I took the ECT sensor of my parts explorer that I know works and it didn't make a difference. I then proceded to rip out my instrument cluster to see if the gauge itself is bad. Again i went over to my parts explorer and the same thing happened, (nothing). Checked for the 5 volt referrence coming from the connector, and it is there. so This morning I go over to NAPA and purchase a new ECT sensor (which cost me $35) BUT it ohms out the same as the two old ones. So before I return it. I start reading the haynes manual, it's says that there might be two sensors. one for the PCM and one for the Temp Gauge. So I think that I have been messing around with the sensor that goes to the PCM, but I can't seem to find the one that delivers information to the temp gauge. If any one could shine some light on this and maybe attach some sort of image so I can better understand what it is I am looking for, I will appreciate it greatly. oh, yeah it's a '91 explorer.
Thanks Ed
