Niku-Sama Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 ok so i was testing the thermotime switch instead of the water temp sensor when i was checking the into possible solutions to my problem here http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=144072 so i try to unplug the water temp to test it but the connector snapped off. i thought what the heck is this? then i notice that the PO (aka Mr.STP) removed the old car side connector spliced in a little bit more wire (to reach i guess) and soldered and hot glued the wires directly to the water temp sensor. so i need to replace it either way because the guts of the thing came out and it was probally bad to begin with but i am going to put a real connector on it i just need to know does it matter what wire goes on what pole on the sensor or does it not matter just as long as it makes a circuit? and also i cant find the thread that talks about what cars have the good connectors (the squeeze kind) so if any one knows off the top of their head what car has those that would be great as i am going to the j-yard tommorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted March 13, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2009 i just need to know does it matter what wire goes on what pole on the sensor or does it not matter just as long as it makes a circuit? Nope. Not polarity sensitive. and also i cant find the thread that talks about what cars have the good connectors (the squeeze kind) so if any one knows off the top of their head what car has those that would be great as i am going to the j-yard tommorow Most GM cars have what your looking for.

Niku-Sama Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 wasnt there an Audi or VW that has a squeeze connector too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted March 13, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yes. I find GM's are generally more plentiful, though. Some Subaru's came with them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted March 13, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2009 Just to clarify... the Nissan water temp sensor uses the same connector as the injectors discussed above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
