Probably the temp sensor for automatic control of the ETAC system... You're better off with it disconnected... Otherwise when the engine temp is 100*or so(guessing here), the system will go to full blower speed BEFORE the engine is warm enough to give heat... At least that's the way the ones I had behaved...


Huh mine usually waits till the engine is warmed up more (~135 or so) before the heat kicks on. When it does it's usually toasty warm:D

Btw,, when i asked for heater core hoses,, my first mistake was "advance" i guess.  They didnt mention a difference.  Now i know, thank you very much.

Yeah, that "T" goes in line with the heater hose as mentioned. I also don't get heat until the water is quite toasty so I think it does it's job fine.

I'll have to try mine sometime I'm curious. I don't even turn the system on until I see the second bar on my temp gauge. Yes yes I do turn on the defrost if the windows are fogged you know what I mean :hick:
