[s-cars] Is this a temp sensor? - nope it's a radiator/aux fan switch

[Matt twentyV]

Etka will give you the p/n of the mating connector, but to be certain the pin order is correct someone should inspect their car.  I'd offer to help on both fronts but can't until tomorrow evening at the earliest- today I'm leaving straight from work to watch the Sharks play- and hopefully beat- the Blackhawks.
If you haven't gotten the info you need by later tomorrow, let me know and I can check both Etka and our S6 for you.

Radiator/Auxillary Fan Switches come in two temp ranges. FWIW, mine is
95-102 C versus 85-93 C.

However, to get my car back on the road, I'm going to have to attach spade
connectors to the existing wire to connect to the switch, and then keep my
eyes open for the correct connector off of a car that's being parted. I'm
still looking for the order in which to connect these wires, as described,
below.

These are the wires that go to the switch from the car. The plastic
connection that they all ran through to plug into the switch got destroyed.

This is what the back of the sensor where the wires from the car plug in
looks like. There is obviously a right and left side, meaning the wires have
to be connected to the correct prongs (which sit three in a row across the
middle of the outline of the switch, above)

Thanks!
