Temp Sensor connection (1 Viewer)

[pavlis613]

I've finally gotten all of the gauges on my FJ to work. Sort of.

The temp sensor works (with alligator clips), but I can't find any information on the type of connector that's supposed to be between the sensor and the wire.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

@ToyotaMatt

I see your reply but there's no info. Am I not seeing it?

Sometimes, a regular female spade connector, without plastic insulator, will slide on.
There is also a special connector for those (you might have something similar on your oil pressure sender) and ToyotaMatt has those. So might Coolerman, so might your dealer.

yeah regular spade connector here

 

[Pighead]

Yeah, the specialness of the special connector, IIRC, is just a slot cut in the plastic insulator to allow it to slide on sideways. You could probably make your own with a Dremel

@Coolerman sells them.

6.3mm terminals

feel free to ask the @Engineer8000 's professional Mr' Wizard's Level opinion on this topic too ,




note : this is and will be the EXACT same solid brass terminal / terminals used on the tall button connector type coolant sender , all oem oil pressure sending units , and

all oem spade connector coolant senders and all oe spade connector starters too , its simply the only way to roll ...........

please see this link below :

if you simply make DARN sure u ADD some detailed instructions in the CHECK-OUT Notes , ill hand make kustom Taylor you to order one of these with the correct YELLOW / w green tracer stripe wire , this will be long enough to reach your CLUSTER METER TEMP. gauge via the RING Terminal VIA 1 single HOME Run Length ....


if you do indeed add the check out notes requested , and required ill toss in a oem ring terminals too , to crimp on end and secure my new yellow / w green tracer stripe wire to your cluster meter gauge copper hex nut stud ..........

If you get a new temp sensor it will accept the regular flat spade connector
