Does anyone know which sending unit is for the radiator fan and which one is for the gauge? My fans work, but the gauge doesn't....any help would be appricated....

The fans are actually controlled by the ECU. But never mind. there are two temp sensors on the engine side by side. one will be a red or yellow plug with two wires coming out of it. this is the ECU temop sender. the other is black and only has a single wire, this one is for the gauge. the connection at this sender is probably corroded or the solder on the blade connector has broken.

Hmmm....both of the sending units for the coolant temp are on the passenger side in the rear, correct? Please help me out here...both of them have two wires on them...one has yellow and black...and the other one I don't know about...
