The continuing saga: I wondered if grounding one end would send the temp gauge high so I took a jumper wire out with me. Fred had it backwards, the passenger side temp sensor is in charge of the aux fan, the top side one is for the electo-magnetic fan clutch. I can actuate either by grounding its associated connector with my ground wire but neither affects the gauge at all.
Does the system compares the output of the two to control the gauge? I didn't think to ground both of them, I'd need to make up another jumper wire. The wire to the aux fan sensor has something wrong with it, I can turn the fan on by wiggling the connector, I can't do the same with the fan clutch sensor. Fortunately the wire is a jumper, it goes into the loom over by the fuel filter. It does look like the connector comes apart, when I have more time I'll see whats up with it. I'll also email Rusty, it'd be great if I could just buy a replacement...
