Unhappy

Just wondering how important the wire coming out of the middle of the radiator is? my guess is its a temp sensor (but my temp gauge still works)

Some rocket scientist (maybe the same guy that pulled apart my power steering pump/switch and filled it with silastic so the fluid would stop leaking out the electrical connections) has disconnected mine and i can't find any place it used to connect to.

Maybe a cause of my overheating probs?



???

The one on the top is the water level sensor. If the water level gets too low it will set off a buzzer.

any idea where the wire runs in an 86 N/A? It's probably not a bad thing to have connected....

There should be a brown wire with a white stripe that has a connector to go onto it. The wire should be somewhere on the passenger side of the car, near the airbox.

For you that should be the driver's side.
