    99 GTP the green wire from the temp sensor plug on top of the front valve cover goes into the wiring harness, The black and yellow go to the PCM the green must go to the engine bay fuse box to get to the instrument panel which pin does it go to.

    No not going to the PCM think it may go to the other 2 plugs on the engine bay fuse box found the wire that comes from pin 76 on the blue connector for the PCM but where does it go from there to the instrument cluster and the temp gauge.
    The top plug in the fuse block comes from the PCM the middle ones goes onto the passenger compartment it is one of those wires I am looking for.

    thats all i got, like you, im not that guy who like electrical gremlins.

    whats the issue? dash not reading the right temp? fans not working? cause if its any of that, its a bad temp sensor, if your gonna say you replaced it already, ill tell ya to replace it again, cause they are known to be bad new in the box. takes 2 or 3 times to get a working one, the store should warranty it being it dont work.

    The gauge does not show temp, It worked when it was in the other body so It is not a sensor problem but a wiring issue. I took the engine, trans, PCM, engine bay fuse box, engine bay wiring harness and exhaust out of the old rusty northern car 99 GTP body. Them I put it in a 2003 SE not all rusty, there were five wires in the SE that were missing from the engine bay fuse box on the plug that goes to the passenger compartment that were in the 99 GTP plugs. I just need help figuring out which pins they are then I will move them in the plug or run new wires.

    Frankenstein swap. you will need a load of wire schematics from both cars i dare to say.

    Yes I have been looking for the pinout for the middle plug on the engine bay fuse box I know the wire colors and pin position that were missing but I can not locate a wiring diagram for the plug
