Carlw Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Hi all I've bought a new housing as mine has a broken pipe .the problem is the one I have bought does not come with the a pin for the wire that's in the middle of the pic .the one with the white block and yellow wire. What is this wire and will it still work without it .is it temp sensor for the dash. It's of a standard starlet 4efe p reg. Thanks Edited November 23, 2018 by Carlw Add info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
V_Jack Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The pin for the wire is actually an additional sensor. In some models the temp for the dash is part of a 3 pin sensor, you should be able to swap the sensor over to the other housing and it work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carlw Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi this is the other one I bought .there's no hole for the sensor pin to fit in. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The hole isn't in exactly the same position but should fit in somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you'll notice above in the second pick the plug is different on the sensor, on that model instead of the two separate sensors they went to one sensor that does both. You can butcher the plugs to make them both fit the one sensor or alternatively if you can get an off-cut of a loom you can re-wire it to work with just the one sensor. It will work without it, I'm pretty sure its just the temp wire for the dash however obviously you won't be able to keep an eye on the temps. I was sure they still had the additional port but this looks like it might not be the case. Edited November 23, 2018 by V_Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your help I'l have a Look at it when it comes test it .as long as I can drive it I mite go and look on a few scrap yards see if I can get the rite one. Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-dog Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yeah on the one you have bought the sensor does it all ( ecu and temp gauge ) , so just get a 3 pin plug from a Glanza and solder it on and will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just messaged the guy I've bought it of and asked if he will send me it out with abit of the wire still on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-dog Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yes mate you will need the pin out for the plug or I can get you a photo off my Glanza , 2 wires are for the ecu and 1 wire is for the temp gauge . Yeah that would be a nice easy fix if you have the connector if not you will just have to buy one and wire it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
