Anyone ever measure the impedance/resistance of the temp sensor ?

I'm trying to work out if my it's my relay or sensor that's gone dud...

Also, has anyone fitted the Lindsey low profile sensor ? Does it work ok ?

Resistance checks for '86 Turbo, NTC II sensor, from the WSM.

0°C/32°F 4.4 - 6.8K ohms
15-39°C/59-86°F 1.4 – 4.6K ohms
40°C/104°F 1.0 – 1.3K ohms
80°C/176°F 250 – 390 ohms
100°C/212°F 160 – 210 ohms

Cheers for that, but that's for the block temperature sender isn't it ?

I'm actually trying to check the turbo water pump temperature sender...

The turbo temp sensor is a switch, not a resistance type.

Any idea when, temperature wise, it's open/closed ?

I think around 180 or 190F

It will switch to ground, so if youre testing it with an ohm meter, measure between the funny looking needle contact on top, and the threads on the body.
