[attachment=31868][attachment=31867][attachment=31867][attachment=31868][attachment=31867]Hello, The 2 wires that should connect to the coolant temp sensor in the top LHS of the radiator (looking fwd) on my 306, registration N95GOY have no femail plug on them. If the wires are twisted together the fans run. I assumed that the reason the previous owner had removed the female plug and was twisting the wires was because the sensor was dud. It does at least work but means opening the bonnet for every drive.
I have therefore acquired from a scrapyard an identical looking coolant temp sensor and female plug. The newly acquired sensor however has three terminal/three wires not two. It was from a different peugot model, (possibly 307) and I'd assumed as it looked the same it'd be the same.
Now at home and wondering if I should just fit the sensor and connect the two fan wires to two of the three terminals on the new coolant temp sensor. The two fan wires on the car are heavy duty red and yellow. The three wires on the female connector to the new sensor are lighter gauge, solid green, green with white flecks, and yellow.
Grateful for advice.
