go to the JY and snip a few inches off one of theirs (vg or ve doesn't matter.. on a VG it's near where the #3 plug wire hooks into the distributor) and strip the wires, solder if you can (twist if you can't) and shrinkwrap it.

the coolant temp sensor is the one right behind that, with the reddish/orangish colored plastic cover that clips down..
THATS, another coolant sensor of some sort though.. not sure its name is "coolant temp sensor" though
i just checked the FSM, thats the thermal transmitter.
if you wanted to buy a new one, while youre re-wiring it, since its not the sensor itself thats bad, just the wire.. but im bored.. so i just killed time by finding the name of that for no good reason. lol

"The Thermal Transmitter is a small thermometer, that reads the coolant temperature and transmits that information to the dash board. This should not be confused with the Coolant Temperature sensor, that sends the coolant temperature to the ECU (cars computer). The Thermal Transmitter should only be replaced if your dash board is showing bad temperature readings."
Id say yes you can drive it..
but dont go blaming me if because you cant monitor your coolant you blow up

Won't hurt to have... pretty cheap. But, I hope you tried cleaning the plug and contact first to see if that was it. The one on my Celica got gooey and flaked for a long time... until I got arount to actually looking at it. Clean is good.

I recognize that part all too well, I have a shiny new one laying in a plastic bag in the front driver side of my car that I bought for like $10 at autozone when I was worried my car was having overheating problems (sender/transmitter/sensor hasn't worked as long as I've owned it).

nope... if it were a ground the wire'd be black, not green, on a 3rd gen maxima at least. green *can* be ground, on some scooters, or in your house's wiring behind the wall. just not here.

just use a regular electrical connector it will slip over it. just like everyone says controls the gauge on dash. the one next to it is for the ecu. good luck if you go to yard..im sure there is about 10 to 30 3rd gens there. thats how many are at my local junk yards.
