True the clip is broken ,but it apparently will geometrically fit. It most definitely probably would not snap close.

Either way, you know which one is the correct one for the ECT, so you're all set.

Just for fun lets see a shot of both the connectors side by side from the opening.
Although it technically does not fit it looked good enough to get the gift certificate.

I see two opposite shapped connectors, no gift certificate for you.

That is absolutely crazy. I do apologize for calling you names....I'm the bigger idiot because I've never been able or seen anyone do that with a factory temp sensor. Only partially though, because common sense would tell you the connector with the corner at the same location as the sensor would be the correct one. Lol

Send me a PM...the mail box thing up top and I'll get you squared away. I'm a man of my word. Thank Biden. Lol

What about me???? I cheered you on, backed you up, and even filibustered for a minute.
Geez, I can't catch a break, or is that brake?

We're not a socialist country yet. You've got to catch me in a bet. He did a lot of work proving me wrong in the weirdest way. If I would've excluded the broken connector I wouldn't have to pay....but....I missed that detail. That thing snapped on there....I don't know how but it don't matter one bit. He won the challenge....I stand corrected...and I get to help someone towards their goal like you do all the time, Thief.

I paid up. Hope he let's us know what he ordered. He's close enough to come kick my arse and be back home by dinner time. Lol.

I gotta start looking at people's join dates. He's been circling these waters 3 years longer than me. That's also a really nice set up he's working on. Cool guy.

What's going on. Been a minute. I am back causing trouble again. . Of course I ran Into some hiccups since we spoke last and had to tear the motor down again. Sometimes if you want it done right you have to do-it-yourself. Appears that I've got everything correct now. How many times have said that!

I applied the gift certificate towards a :

DAKOTA DIGITAL ELECTRIC FAN CONTROLLER W/ SENSOR & 70 AMP RELAY - BLUETOOTH CONTROL​

Thanks 90sickfox and all that assisted me with this issue.
