1) Remove the 2 prongs connector. The aux fan should stop. It is to turn on cooling when engine reaches 100C or 105C, depends on what part # is installed.
2) The single prong is the kilma input. Remove it and see whether the A/C comes on. It turns off A/C when it reaches 105C. This may be the problem.

Good luck.
BINGO! I removed the 2 prong connector on top of the thermostat housing and the fan turned off. I then pulled the single pin connector (next to the two pin connector) and the compressor came to life!...ac is blowing cold. So I guess I need to replace this sensor with the 3 prongs? If I can't get it quickly, can I leave that one prong connector off so I can use the AC until the part comes in? Also- you wouldn't know the part number or the name of what this sensor is called so I can order it?

Thanks!!
