Does anyone have an aftermarket part number for this darn thing? Parts store are an epic fail it seems, the only coolant temperature sensors they show are the one for the ECM and a single-wire one for the analog gauges. I thought maybe Ford actually decided to use some common sense on this one and use two of the same sensor, one for ECM and one for the digidash gauge, but the ECM one I got from the parts store ohms out at 32k while the EVTM says the digidash one ought to be around 13k, so I guess there goes that theory... Any help would be appreciated, this is a BS issue that shouldn't be an issue at all.

Probably the same problem for me getting that single pole sensor for my 93. No parts stores have that listed either. But I found it for a bronco. yeah... and the digi-dash one? unicorn. Gonna have to find someone with one so they can take pics and possibly read the part number off the thing. Or get really lucky in a yard.

John, pretty sure that's the ECM one actually. Advance has it in stock supposedly, gonna ohm it out and see what comes up.
Sly, "TU25"? Single pole for analog gauges, listed as a gauge switch or something stupid like that. But it should be the right one in your case, I just messed with one yesterday.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

I think that's it. I know I did finally find one for my 93 and that sounds correct.

It doesn't use the same sensor as the analog gauges?86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Nope, digital is different from analog. Found a '94 in a yard today, grabbed its cluster for a future project, and while I was at it robbed the temp sensor as well - darn thing looks identical to the sensor used by the PCM. Ohmed it on the spot, came up with 22k. I got a new ECM sensor that ohms at 32k, EVTM calls for 13k, I figure 22 is closer to 13 than 32 is so I'll give that a shot. Two wire connector, one goes to the digidash and the other is ground (so it'll go on the lower intake somewhere).The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

Wonder if it would be more accurate if the ground for the cluster and the ground for the sensor were the same ground.Originally posted by His Royal Ghostliness View PostComment

It should be. Voltage differences between engine and cluster ground will screw it up.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Gah you people suck! I was hoping for a quick easy fix for once, but nooo, you two just had to go ahead and ruin it for me! lol
Mkay then, where's the cluster ground at in a box? Cause the digidash uses the factory box grounds. I could look it up in the EVTM, but being lazy and asking is easier

My guess would be the ground tree that is located in the middle of the dash support.Originally posted by His Royal Ghostliness View PostGah you people suck! I was hoping for a quick easy fix for once, but nooo, you two just had to go ahead and ruin it for me! lol

The EVTM agrees with you. Damnit, now I gotta find a nice routing for a single freakin wire that can't go into any factory harness. Gonna have to give it a connector too somewhere near the rear of the engine, naturally. Would have been so much easier to do when I had the upper intake off few days ago.Originally posted by 86VickyLX View PostThe ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.
