Coolant temperature sensor connector 2000 to 2002

[Uwe]

My issue was caused by a rodent, most likely. Found several pieces of blue/red wire and brown wire cleanly severed. No rotating components in the area of damage. ran a new 2-wire loom from temps sensor to trunk, connected there and voila! Gauge now works. This after replacing the 4-wire sensor and cleaning the connector with de-oxit.

Nothing to add, other than to applaud the correct use and spelling of voila.
