Temp. Sender-what does it do?
After completing my recent BHG on my 1990 Turbo, the computer set a code for bad temp. sender--found it to be the one behind the PS reservoir bracket-the 2 prong thermistor. Checker and AZ don't have them, so it was $59 for a new one at the Toy. dealer.
BUT, I also found another temp. sender w/1 blade connector that is in the radiator side of the t'stat housing. There are 2 on this side, the lower one runs the elect. AC fans, and this one up higher. It tested open (infinite ohms to ground). The dealer had one, so I tested it right at the parts counter--same thing, infinite ohms. No sale. Then I tested the orig. one hot-no change. What is the purpose of this sensor/sender? It doesn't run the temp. gage. It also doesn't set any codes.
