I find this statement interesting. How did you manage to release the locking clip of this connector? Are you sure you didn't just un-plug the temp gauge sender? The OD Thermo Switch is the one with the gray connector under the gauge sender. IMHO the passenger seat cowing needs to come off in order to articulate the plastic lock & remove that connector.

You don't pull the switch from the head, you simply pull the gray connector off of it. If the problem is due to a faulty thermo switch the OD will begin working. Tim
