Coolant sensor
Coolant sensor 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.

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.

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.

Verdad Gallardo 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.
