As title said, I need to hook up my oil temp gauge after about 2 years on stands. I can't find the wire that goes to the taco plate temp sensor. It may have broken off the harness. I re-covered the portion of the harness from the exit of the firewall upward. Did I maybe cover up the temp wire, or does it come from somewhere else?
Thanks, JoeO |

(on top of the engine!) it's green/black and has one of those large plastic connectors on it that accepts a female spade connector. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy |
