    Most probably you have faulty MFTS, not the wiring. BTDT on three cars (including mine). After MFTS replaced - it started to show coolant temperature.

        You are welcome .

        Note, that new MFTS (if it's really new) will have less pins than old one. It's OK.

                Yeah - my temp gauge is intermittent. I guess this is a common problem.. so changing the MFTS cures this yeah in the majority of cases? Is this a cheap fix?

                Cheers
