93 Grand Prix Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 What is the difference between a cooling temperature switch, and cooling temperature sensor? Where is the switch located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 a cooling fan *switch* just means that it basially reads on & off. in other words it makes an idiot light in your dash come on or off....so a 'HOT' light in your cluster would be either on of off depending on if your car was overheating or not. a coolant temperature *sensor* actually controls a guage, and usually reads something like 0 - .5 Volts so you can acually tell what temperature your engine is running. i had to replace my oil pressure switch with an oil pressure sender (sensor) when i did my base cluster --> gauges cluster swap. the guages cluster actually tells you the actual oil pressure (sorta), wheras the base cluster will only light up a 'LOW' light. joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
