What is this stuff??? April 29, 2007, 03:25:06 PM Ok, so after doing the old K&N install, I noticed this silver box, with a on it sitting on the Air Filter Mount. It has a copper looking wire coming out of it, and on the end looks like a Water-Temperature sensor. Any ideas?Picture of Copper tube...Also, does anyone know how to get rid of this white build up where the Front License plate holder used to be? Quote Selected

Reply #1 – April 29, 2007, 03:37:39 PM Wtf?the copper wire with the thing on the end looks like a temprature probe of sorts. the whole thinglooks......interesting. certainly it cant be stock. id trace it out, see what its tappet into and probably remove it. whatever it is. QuoteAlso, does anyone know how to get rid of this white build up where the Front License plate holder used to be?oh and this looks like it should polich right out with some compound. maybe clay bar?

What is this stuff??? Reply #2 – April 29, 2007, 03:44:11 PM I don't know if that box is stock or not. I can't locate it the old Repair Manual. And that Temperature probe has just been sitting in there. I don't know where it should be put into. On top of the Silver Box it says "Electra Temp Controller"?????BTW, do you mean rubbing compound?

What is this stuff??? Reply #6 – April 29, 2007, 04:18:28 PM Electric fan temp controller. Cannot tell from the pic but are the wires still attached or cut off at the connectors. If still intact trace the wires and see where they go. Quote Selected

Just make sure the tubing isn't kinked or it won't work.FYI that looks like the same one I have, although it apparently isn't hooked up anymore. Quote Selected
