I have a 93 fox and I am wanting to utilize the factory gauges as much as possible. I was wondering if I could simply take the wire coming off the gauge in the factory cluster and connect it to either the factory wire from the computer or if I could tap into the sendor its self. I dont see why this wouldnt work but if anyone has done it and was succesful that would be of help.

What year Harness are you using? I had to use a 1998 Temp Sensor for mine, it is a 3 wire, it sends the Signal to the PCM and to the Gauges.

That temp sender probably will not work, the 99+ sender only has an output for the PCM and then the PCM sends the signal to the cluster. But it sends it as a serial data signal. Just stick the ford sender in the extra hole in the passenger side head.

The ford sensor is standard and the lsx is metric and I dont have room to use that because I have a downpipe back there.



Could I plug a 98 sensor into my motor even though its a 2002 comp/harness? Are you using the factory ford sensor? If so what wires did you hook up.

The LSx sensor will not work with the ford gauges. You'll have to drill and tap the LSx somewhere to install the ford temp sensor. It's your only choice

If thats the case I will have to end up going with an aftermarket gauge.. maybe I can hide it somewhere. I hate to many guages!

Im going to do a search to see if I can tap into lsx sending unit with an aftermarket guage.

Do you have room to drill and tap a hole in the top of the water pump?

You have to re-wire the Connector and put an extra Wire in the Harness. The two wires that are already there go to the PCM, the third goes to the interior for the Temp. Gauge.

That is what I had to do for my swap, it works perfectly with my 1995 Gauges in my Camaro because they are still Analog Gauges.

I don't know about how you would have to do it with the Mustang, may have to go with an aftermarket Gauge and wire it like I described.
