Changing thermostats and broke a sensor on the port side of the thermostat housing. There's another sensor on the starboard side of the thermostat housing. I'm sure 1 is for the temp gauge but what's the other one for?
I tried looking on this site but no luck: https://www.mercruiserparts.com
They are 1990 454 mag engs with "new style" thermostat housings.
Thx

Maybe the "other sensor" is a over-temp warn switch for the warning horn?

I went thru the wiring for all 3 sensors that can turn on the warning horn on both engs and all looks good. I would like to verify the coolant temp switch works properly (on the eng I didn't break the sensor). Anyone know what temp the coolant temp switch is supposed to close?
