Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
If you've noticed your fan running overtime, its because this sensor is dangling out closer to exhaust heat.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This sensor or switch was dangling on its wire down on the passenger side of the engine on a 99 996. What is it and where does it go?

POST 2Original post

It is probably number 4 temperature sensor in this picture. On my 2005 C2S, it controls the engine compartment fan.

Temp Sensor as mentioned above. If you've noticed your fan running overtime, its because this sensor is dangling out closer to exhaust heat. Easy fix

POST 4Original post

If the grommet is still in the manifold take it out and put it on the sensor before you try to push it through. If you leave it on the manifold you will push the grommet through and it will land on the dark side of the moon.
