Default Cooling Temp Sensor Wiring Problem

Just installed new rebuild. Everything is hooked up running good. Except my cooling temp sensor is not pluged in. Wiring plug has disappeared. So my question would any one have a pic. of the driver side of the motor around the cooling temp sensor. Or where does the wire lead from the main wiring harness. Cant find it.

It comes off the injector harness.. part going down to the altenator.

Cool thing about LS1's.. all the plugs are different

Thanks so it does lead from the harness that goes to the alternator. Is it a two or 3 prong connector.

The 97-98 should be a 3 prong, and the 99+ will be two prong (dummy gauge). Yes, its the harness that runs from the alternator up to the top of the engine.

Yeah the auto parts stores around here to give you the 2 prong sensor even if you say 98'.

I guess they all think 98- 2002 are all the same.

Take that one back and goto the dealer and get the 3 prong for a 98'.You shouldn't have a problem.Atleast no problems here going to a local dealer.
