Ok. I didnt realize the car had to be running to check the head temp sensor.

With sensor unplugged, the fans get juice. With it plugged in, no juice. Does this mean the temp sensor is stuck in "cold" like Miko said and it needs to be replaced?


Thanks, Josh

Also, in this link, Andreas mentioned something about unplugging the temp sensor would retard the timing. I recently discovered while trying to set the timing that I couldn't get it into timing mode. Would a bad temp sensor cause this. Would a bad temp sensor retard the timing like it does when it is unplugged?

If your fans DO NOT come on with it plugged in but they DO when you unplug it then yes the temp sensor is bad. I don't know for sure if it effects timing mode, but I suspect it would.

Thanks. I swapped it out and since I have my fans hard wired, I'll have to check with a test light and rewire to stock tonight.
