Hey Guys, I've got two temp sensor ports handy.....one in the intake for my stock temp sensor and the other in the thermostat housing for my aftermarket gauge but I'm going to need another port for my temp control sensor for my electric fan on my aluminum radiator.

Can I run my aftermarket gauge & electric fan off the same temp sensor?

No you can't use the same sensor. You could put a tee in the heater hose coming off the intake and screw another sensor into the tee.

Don't use a T they're prone to catching air and misreading.

Why the heck do you need a Factory temp sensor AND an aftermarket? Dump the aftermarket and put the fan switch there.

Hey FE....been causin any trouble lately?
I think I'll dump the factory sensor since it's for the idiot light and who likes those? I'll keep the aftermarket hook up since I can read it, I don't trust those idiot lights anyway.

Hahaha, trying like crazy but nobody will bite.

The idiot light only comes on when the temp is already in the Danger zone. A gauge let's you know when you're approaching it and prevents the oh schitt it's too late scenario....
