Ok I tried the cleaning and dielectric grease on my temp coolant sensor (the red one) and the other black one next to it and I've sealed them up pretty good. The results: temp gauge worked for about five days and the engine still hesitates. So now I think I'll have to replace the sensors all together. I can't wait to see how much that costs. I am now running out of ideas. Can anyone offer aadvice?

My temp coolant sensor seems to be on the fritz. If i push the connector in the cooling fans turn on, however if I release the pressure they turn off. Otherwise they do not turn on when the engine gets hot. Since my temp guage doesn't really work I will not know if it is overheating. You said that you cleaned yours(the red and yellow connector), is it hard to remove and how did you clean it? Is it easy to replace yourself? Please help its starting to get hot here.

I've been having some probs with my temp sensors as well. The cooling fan sometimes won't kick in and the temp gauge sometimes drops to 0. I will be replacing both fairly soon. They run about $20 for one and $18 for the other. I can find the exact amount for you if you want, so they're not the most expensive parts to replace either!

that should be no problem but do you need to replace the guages in the dash or are you taking about the temp switches under hood

alright fellows I had the same problem with my 90 maxima. If I pressed the coolant temp sensor on the engine the fans would come on. I would not let a problem like that stay there to long. I did not replace it and my fans work fine.
1- I disconnected the red and yellow sensor and cleaned it out by just scrapping the metal contacts with a very small screwdriver.
2- use a tie strap to wrap the sensor and the wire close together so force is always applied to the wire to be pressed against the sensor. A quick and easy fix. Tell me how it works out.
