    Electrical Water Temperature Senders - How To Test Folks?

    G’day NP.com.au Team,

    Electrically challenged skills I do have and are hoping for some guidance on a possible NPT Yanky water temperature sender issue believed found for a custom aftermarket nuffy need.

    As best as I can find tonight the additional silly Yanky dual fan module appears to be powered up yet still no action even on the old trucks first 90C Craig Davies Fans historical settings as always before!

    All roads nuff nuff logically (I think) point back to the Yanky sender, is there kindly anyway to mechanically/electrically test its funkationality?
    Many thanks!
    Mark

    Mark is the sensor two wire or single wire mate? If single it should just be a simple switch, on (at the set temp) and off. So if you heat some water to the set temp, attach a DMM to the thread and then to the wire, if the switch is working it should trigger at the set temp. Should. Lol.

    Yeah should work in theory. It works on the similar principle to an oil pressure switch, but is activated by heat. The switch is just an earth contact for the fan.

    I have to drop off parts to a customer in Yarra Glen in the morning. I can drop past and take a look if you like.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
