SR3SS Water temp sensor

Hi @nico-fr-18, the device you found near the passenger foot is part of an old Pi Data System.  The Pi System typically ties into all of the cars sensors and outputs the information on a small dash near the driver.  It does not typically feed the Aim dash that you have pictured.  What chassis number is your car?  It appears that your car originally came with the optional Pi Data system and at some point someone upgraded to the Aim days.  Hopefully when they upgraded to the Aim dash they installed a new harness and didn't use parts of the Pi Harness.  The coolant temperature sensor that you need is installed on the swirl pot on the left side of the engine bay (see the attached picture).  You can test that sensor to make sure it is working properly with a ohm meter.  You can also check the wire run to see how that wire ties into the aim dash.  Or you can run a new wire from the aim harness to the water temp sensor.  I hope this helps.

Hi its chassis 0003 I imagine my car have been upgraded with a jenvey injection and this dashboard. This could explain why I have many smalls wires not connected on the harness.

I dont have sensors on the WT tank. I found a thermo switch near the radiator and another sensor on a WT hose. I will make some pictures. I imagine this have been modified by the last owner and he didnt made the setting operation in the dashboard with a computer. Every day I learn something new. Thanks for your precious help.
