    What are the wires coming from my temp plug

    I know one of the wires is for the coolant temp on the dash but what is the other one for?

    If you mean the one in the thermostat housing, its a thermo switch to switch the condenser fans on when things get hot, 103-105 deg from memory

    The plug/ sender that is the most likely too be one that you wan`t to change will be the one in the most awkward sod of a position. Speaking from my own personal experience with a 3.9 V8.
