|
|
My Pajero recently had some work on a cooling system leak whilst away. I discovered on returning home that the O/D now doesn’t activate. I’ve read on this forum that it could be related to sensor wire being dislodged. When reccying the engine bay I notice 3 sensors close together (right side of engine), and one on its own (in front) without a wire connected (looking like it should have - shiny terminal), a unconnected black wire, and broken twin wires.
Would anyone be able to shed any light on them and whether there is anything that should be re-connected?
I’ll try and attach a pic - here is what I found:
1-sensor furthest away (under rad top hose) - green wire with orange/red
2-sensor middle (white sheath) - black wire and green with white wire
3-sensor nearest - blue with white wire
4-disconnected black wire with plug (doesn’t seem to fit anywhere)
5-broken yellow wire and black wire (together in sheath)
6-sensor at front (terminal is shiny as though something was attached)
Can anyone identify each sensor/item on this list for me?
Are any of these related to my O/D issue?
Also, is this a red herring re O/D not operating?
Cheers. |

Lazy fix but could useful for testing - the tip of my OD sender broke off and I found that black wire to nowhere is a spare earth, connect your sender wire to this earth and you've bypassed the OD circuit, you just have to remember no motorways until she's warmed up. |

Thanks for the info. The article is where I started before writing my post.
However, to confound things, the O/D just started working. All I did was unplug each sensor and reconnect, so there might be a dirty joint there. The trouble I am having is identifying each sensor and these spare wires I have. Trying to make sense if it all. |
