    jdm gtx dash heat light sensor

    Does any one know where to find the sensor that is used to turn on the "JDM HEAT" dash light

    I have looked before, but its been a few years. It is the only part of the gtx cluster in the Escort GT that doesnt work correctly.

      No I think its in the exhuast. From what I understand it is a high temp thermo switch for the dash. A Warning indicator to tell you the car is to hot and you are running a risk of engine damage..

        its a exhaust gas temp sensor, you might be able to source one from a rx7 as they have a similar sensor. But rotarys run a lot hotter than BP's so it might not be calibrated accurately for a BP
        I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                Apparently "theman" no longer takes PM's on Club Protege.
                His profile points to a few to many noob questions

                  FD's have them for sure but usually finding one used is hard since everything short of 7' behind the exhaust outlet melts. I think FC's use them too but cant be 100% sure. Why not use a EGT?

                        Mine was an exhaust gas temp sensor, located in the stock converter. I haven't actually put it back in to the new exhaust. Not sure what temp it comes on at, but obviously never has come on.

                          I remember that sensor from my front clip, but I for the life of me can't remember where I put it.

                              Dang, I found it this morning, but it wasn't actually there. It was just the catalytic converter, it had a little 2-bolt flange/tube in the inlet pipe that the sensor went into. No actual sensor though. I don't remember now if I actually had that sensor when I got my front clip, or if it was missing when I got it. In any case, I don't know where it would be, except maybe still connected to the front clip and just dangling. I'll try getting a look at it, might not be until tomorrow night though, with work and not being home.
