Its the other sender you need.

Am I replacing the wrong thing, this is what I changed on the back of the block, left side?

Does a switch look different?
Sorry for all the questions, will be buying the Haynes book of lies at the weekend![]()
Hi Nik, Nick here, I sold you the car. Sorry about the rusty water, but I have to blame yet another previous owner for that as I dropped the coolant at least twice and replaced with new 50/50 anti-freeze/water. I think some idiot had been running on plain water at some stage, it could do with a really good flush.
If it helps, the sensor came from Fiat and I supplied them the VIN so they *should* have supplied the correct part. The old sensor used to give a dim light about 6 months ago, it used to come and go, then it just gave up the ghost. The car has never shown any signs of overheating at all.
You can check some of your cars service history by going over my old posts!
Is the leak fixed now?
Hope she's running good, I miss the little tyke.
I still think its the sensor.
Take your meter to the sensor with a cup of warm water to hand. If you get any reading from the sender its a gauge sender.

I changed the thermostat already. The car was not overheating, even sitting in London traffic. Fan comes on when it should, all good.
That link looks like the sensor I gave you? I already tried the pan of water test with the old sensor and the resistance changed as it got hotter.
Unless there is a switch further up the circuit somewhere that is waiting for a certain resistance to turn the light on?
