Coolant temperature sensor connector 2000 to 2002

The right sensor should only be about $20-$25.

Hey John,
I think the issue is in the harness not the sensor (but im not sure tbh). The previous owner sold the harness and butchered some of the body wiring. Now I'm trying to piece it all together. Yours is a 2000 Boxster right? Mind checking what sensor you have and how many wires go to it? This is the sensor that I'm using, which has 2 pins, so I don't get how it can have 4 wires.

Vlad, I just came across the same problem installing a 2001 3.4 into my 2000 3.2 S.
The 3.4 and a 1999 2.5 both have the 4 prong coolant temp sensor but every 3.2 harness I looked at has the two prong sensor. Not sure what the extra wires are for

I think some 2000 3.2s got the 4 pin and some 2 pin sensors. The two extra wires are for the instrument cluster to display temperature
