Replacing the wiring and connector for the engine coolant temperature sensor on a 2003 Chevrolet Express G3500 Box truck cutaway 6.0L V8
I don't recommend using the 2 red connectors i used in this video.
use the weather tight type
This helped me so much. Thank you for posting it!
Thanks! Video helped a lot!
Thank you so much for this video. It really got me the answer I need to fix and definitely solved my problem. Quick fast in a hurry and simple ❤
98 Camry. CEL for P0115 and upon inspection one of the wires on the ect plug looks a bit frayed. So I'm going to attempt to do a new connection like you did here with absolutely no electrical knowledge. Wish me luck and thank you for the video!
it helped me in my engine swap to ls1 vortec , thanks 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. I just got this problem and now I’m good thanks yo you.
thanks for making the video, this is actually an excellent video
Nice video. Just one I needed to see. Thank you.
Definitely helped me buddy...big thanks
this looks just like mines tried to replace my power-steering pump on my 2005 silverado 2500 and dropped the alternator bracket on the plug lol now im here
ha! my trash looks exactly like that. Thanks for sharing
I had a wire that had exposed insides touching the pipe the temperature sensor was screwed into. I think it might have damaged it. Its new but the gauge isn't reading well. Goes up little bit but drops all the way down when driving.
I would make sure to repair the wire and fasten the wire in the wire holder if present or fasten the wire out of the way of heat and moving mechanism.
Nice. What issues were you having in order for you to change the prong?? Did you replaced the sensor?? Thx
No issues besides, I noticed it broke and the check engine light with code for the engine coolant temperature sensor. But I was also replacing a lot during this time
Can l use electrical grace On this connector?
My temperature gauge runs over the half way mark i think its over heating i had the shop take a look at it and its fine could it also be the wires .i have everything new in it reads higher then normal but never drops low Only higher .
What happens if you get the wires crossed mine was all the way off when I took it out and they’re different colors like that one
Big Big boom.
Just kidding. If the wires get crossed. The fuse might blow but the coolant temp sensor won't work. Then you have to switch the wires.
So if your not sure, temporarily connect them
OK thank you I’m going to try that after work
Dose it matter if the wire's where turned around like if you put the black to yellow and black to tan wire or the other way around like what will happen if there not connected probably ??
Worse case a mini fuse will blow. I know the replacement wire harness repair kit usually has the same color on all the wires.
Could use a multimeter to each wire from the vehicles harness to check which wire has power.
@@allanautollc3210 alright i will do that thank you for your reply sir much appreciated 🌹🌹
Its gonna help me cause my connector on the wire side looks like yours and have no money to kay someone to do it.. i was changing my coils and broke it
Is it possible rewire a 2 pin connector in place of the the old 4 pin connector? Because I can only find a 2 pin temperature sensor. I can’t find a 4 pin temp sensor anywhere for my car. 1993 Chevy corsica. If you have any advice I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you
Coolant temp / water temp sensor should be 2 wires
Where did you unplug a 4 wire plug from a sensor ? On the upper or lower intake manifold or side of a cylinder head?
I followed the top radiator hose to the thermostat. It’s right behind the thermostat. 1993 Chevy Corsica 4cylinder
hi iv got a similar problem but both my coloured wires snapped off right at the base of the connector . so i dont know which colour goes to which terminal . i thought of just taking pot luck and re connect but if its wired the wrong way can it affect the ecu
What if you can’t find the vehicle. I need to know tan and yellow
Did you ever figure out what wire goes with what
My cte wire is getting no power any suggestions
Find the circuit and Check the fuse or fuses for that and connector that the fuse is in and for power. That's where I would start
Thanks
I just got my car running after replacing both o2 sensors and my wires popped out of my connector .and killed my motor I replaced it now my car won't start again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Replaced the O2 sensors again or Motor?
If the engine is trying to start after the O2 sensor wires broke, the catalytic converter could be damaged/clogged.
What's the year , make, model?
Especially if it's a general motors oem catalytic converter from 90's to mid 2000's
And if you used a torch near that catalytic converter to remove the O2 sensor.
2003 malibu it started after I replaced them but then my sensor connector wires came out killed the engine. I didn't use a torch on my o2 sensors.
@@tammymarglon-desmet984 ok, then maybe a fuse in the relay center or multiple fuses in the other relay center as well. Use a test light and pull to visually see the fuses. Check as many connectors and wires near engine where a harness fastener may have broke causing a wire(s) to get burned over time.
Thx Allan. I'll try again tomorrow lol It started every time before them wires came out. Still had a misfire but finally drove right b4 that happened thx for the video too
The copper is glued to the plastic on mine, everytime I strip it the copper comes off with it
Very thin wiring. Its most likely doing that from years of heat near the engine.
I would go farther away from the engine in the wiring and try and I would use those non strip style wire connectors. Just put the 2 ends in the connector and close it. I would still use electrical tape.
Use a candle lighter, duhh😊
Doesn’t matter which wire is which? I can’t find wiring diagram anywhere I might have a short
On this vehicle, the Yellow is the signal and the other wire is the grounded signal wire.
I think.
Had 3 bad grounds and 2 broken grounds on this vehicle.
I usually start with all visible grounds and wires that look bad or feel bad before even trying to isolate a short. Just from my experience and practice so that when I'm tracing a bad circuit, I know that the vehicle is properly grounded in all circuits that I know of
@@allanautollc3210 I actually replaced thermostat with a small hole with a pin on it...My heater blows hot n the gauge works 💪
If you could've soldered it, why did you choose to crimp it instead?
Lol you answered the question in the video
I read that you have to replace the whole wire, but able to splice it but this video proves that wrong
Thank you for this video. I was wondering where the exact placement this part was and when you exited, it showed the location
hey genius, you're not too bright are ya????? where are your safety gloves???🤔
