Title: What is this temp sensor for?
Post by: Bminder on July 11, 2013, 09:33:31 AM
I did a search and couldn't find anything.
When I was replacing my horn yesterday, bolted to the horn bracket was a temp sensor. Two wire, one went into the harness and the other was cut.
Does anyone know what that is for?

Perhaps an add on outside temp gage or read out installed by a PO ? One tap for B+ and the other would run up to a sender ?

It's the power supply for the Flux capacitor!

If I'm not mistaken, you might be able to convert it over for use for the Turbo encabulator!

I have the wife-override option installed on my FJ.
I don't need, nor do I want the distraction while getting my Kookaloo on!

I heard somewhere that a risk of running Wife-Override was an unintended auto-install of Husband 2.0.    :unknown:
