Couple cooling questions Im finally getting time to finish up 'this and thats' following up my cam swap. Had a couple little problems I can't figure out. It would be sweet if someone could toss me a rope.
(1998 LS1)
The 3 prong connection on the front DS head, I believe this is the water temp sending connection.. should it have a snap connector on it? My wired end has a connector but the one on the head is missing? Did I loose it doing the cam swap? Does it matter which of the 3 prongs go in which hole? They all look the same..
Also my fans arent working, Is this related? Do I have a bad fuse or relay?
Any trouble shooting tips would be sweet. I dont have any fancy tools so dont tell me to hook the Diolifibulatorm Monitoring System to it. I do however have a test light ...

A DVOM is a required tool for any electrical troubleshooting these day. A test lite has limited applications in the world of computer controlled engines. Be very carful where you probe with that test lite. Since the test lite has a self-contained battery it can feedback voltage to the PCM/ECM if you probe the wrong circuit. When that happens the smoke comes out. It the smoke gets out it is nearly impossible to get it all back in.

If you don't have an answer by tommorrow I will look for you as it has been 2+ years since i replaced my CTS and I don't rememeber.
Yes it is on the front DS.
My car ran like crap when it was bad. If you have acess to multimeter you should be able to search normal resistance parameters and then test to check it with a multimeter...Cheap at Radioshack / Walmart etc.....
