So I was under my car doing something early this week and I noticed a two wire sensor on the bottom of the radiator. I've never noticed it before. It's an odd place for a water temp sending unit because the water would be cooler in this part of it's cycle, so I don't think it's a water temp sending unit. Sending units are usually on the water outlet side of the engine with the rad fan switch and whatever else. Anyone know what this is?
