Coolant temp sensor wire
« on: February 19, 2010, 04:23:43 am »
Temp sensor doesn't work as there is no wire from the sensor to the gauge. Got a new sensor and need to know what color wire I should be looking for to hook it up. I don't know if the wire is still there or not, so if it isn't, anybody know how I would go about wiring it up? Thanks for any help.

P.S.- It's a 75 Chevy K-10 with a 350.

My '75 has an asbestos-sleeved green wire with a female spade connector.
