Hi folks,

So I'm replacing the gearbox radiator on my 4.6, and heat was required for the pipe connections.

The temperature sensor took a tiny amount of heat itself, so I'd like to test that its working correctly still.

Is it an open/closed circuit style thermistor or a resistance based one?

Its currently short circuit, 0 ohms.

Thoughts?

The dreaded oil cooler pipes, Mine stripped the thread when I changed mine..
From memory a closed circuit is correct,so you should be good to go..

I'd like to check it goes open circuit at a sensible temperature, any idea what the threshold is?

Oh well. Need a new one now regardless, it got guillotined in the replacement process. :(

Are you sure that you want to perform this action? This action is irreversible.
