Title: Outside temp sensor wanted
Post by: bob.dent on 26 January 2010, 09:24:10

Not sure if the sensors I've got are faulty or there's a bad connection in the connector that plugs into it. Tried fitting a spare sensor I had but still no function.
Has anyone got a spare sensor with connector they could sell me?
Cheers, Bob

Only from what I've learned on here, but I think there's another connector a few feet further back from the actual sensor that has a habit of corroding. A new sensor is only about £6 though  ;)  :y

It did but it corroded again so I've since cleaned and redone the connection but still no function. I suspect it may be the connector that plugs into the sensor. If it's not the sensor or connector then I'm at a bit of a loss as to why it won't function unless as Andy said in his post, there's another sensor further back. :-/

  :-/ I said there's another connector further back ...... but you already seem to know about it!  ;)  :y  :y  :y
you could always chop the connector out and join/solder the wires directly to each other  :-/

Thanks Andy but if there was another connector, it's already been chopped out as the only connector there now is the one I put in.

I had to bypass the connector further back to get my external temp sensor working.
