Default Source for aux fan sensor?

Looked thru ecklers and MAD for the sensor on the drivers side head that runs the aux fan. I need the sensor and both sides of the connector as my headers melted the whole thing. Thanks

Why wouldn't you want a regular GM one? The temps for the fans are programmed in your chip aren't they?

Aux fan runs direct off sensor on early models, no ECM involvement

Check your local parts supplier. Pigtail for knock sensor or aux fan switch are the same. Napa has a variety of temp switches with different on/off temps. I crossed one of their numbers to get one local. I got a Niehoff TS25691 temp switch, on at 200*

In stock form it's one wire-my aftermarket lower temp switch came with two, which helped me wire both main fan and aux. fan in tandem-now both my main and aux. fans come on at the same time-which is what I intended and am very happy with.
