Title: temp sensor wire
Post by: greenmonster on December 23, 2009, 04:55:14 pm

I have a 75 k10 and I hooked up the factory temp gauge.The plug is missing from the end of the wire.Does anyone know where I can buy the plug that fits the sensor.

i just used a female electrical connector, (http://www.shoppalstores.com/clreynolds/thumb//thumb3157x1.jpg) works fine!    you are talking about the connector on the engine, right?

Yes the connector on the engine,but I have a gauge and not a light.The sensor has a round stub sticking out that I have to plug into.

4x4orbust showed you the correct connector. It's just a female spade.

The female spade connector will slide over the end from the side.
