Hello everyone,

My outdoor temp sensor on my 93' 190 has been on the fritz for a while, the display would read partial temperatures/incorrect temperatures until about a week ago.. Now it doensnt display anything, no degree symbol or F or anything.

I believe this might be due to the thermocouple senor being past its prime.

About a year ago, I had some work done on the lower core support and I don't believe they re-install the sensor in its proper place. I think it sat against the radiator a bit.

So after doing some research here I found that I can in fact replace the thermocouple at the end of the wire with another one:

Fenwal #192-302LET-A01 or Thermometrics #EC95F302W

These are fairly cheap and I will pick one up soon, however I am failing to see how I go about installing it. I know the current one has a large metal piece on the end...is that whole thing the thermocouple? or is the thermocouple inside the metal casing? If so how do i go about a getting to it?

If anyone can lend me a hand I'd appreciate it..

Thanks,

Kris
