How does the electrical connector come off these sensors do I need a special tool.The connectoe looks like it clips over the circular part of the stem on the sensor and the connector has two slots like an electrical outlet on top of it are these slots the release?I tried squeezing the sides where the lil ribs are but no help thanks in advance.

They just pull off ..snap fit connectors

Arther are you sure I worried I'll break it and require an engine harness in case it does break can that connector be replaced...

There are 3 different temp sensors..which one are you talking abouit??

The single and two wire ones have little tabs on the sides that you release as you stated, but if you squeeze too low , you are not releasing the tab..that is why they are easier to just pull off..but you can also use a small screwdriver to release each tab. Try that on the single wire one [ Temp gauge sensor] and once you have it off you will see he mechanics involved on the tabs
The Injection one should just pull off ..it just has a ring clip that snaps on.

Thanks burt it started working then my fuel gauge went out as well as the clock lighting and the h2o temp came back seems I have other problems thinking wiring at the cluster? Semper Fi

Do a search on "Wire Harness.."

I would also give the fuses a spin in their holders.......

Arthur I will try the fuses and am aware of the harness problem would like to replace it but no cash now to do so.
