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 ?

My turn...it's a temp sensor that tells you when it's time to go home.... :sarcastic:

It's a crash sensor, lets you know when you have been in a wreck.   :dash2:

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!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!

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!
