    Hey Guys,

    Need help identifying dangling sensor off ECM wire bundle. Pics attached. Sensor runs to front lower ECM plug. TY for any help.

    Fuel temp sensor. The lead probably went to the front filter housing at some point.

    Sometimes, a new engine harness has too short of a lead for the fuel temp sensor. I would assume the harness has been replaced
     
    JB7 and RepoweredRookie Thank this.

    numbers 5 and 6 are the only ones near the starter
    Does not appear to be much slack in the wires connected to the sensor so there is probably a plug screwed in place of the sensor near there
     
    RepoweredRookie Thanks this.

    Thank you so much for the quick reply! The harness does hang right at the front of the rear fuel filter and is long enough. I think I will get a new sensor, pull the plug out of the filter, and install the sensor. Threads appear to be same size. Thank you Sir!

    Awesome reference, but I think it's for DDEC5. Gonna dive into it more later, but yes, the plug on the rear fuel filter housing has a plug, same size, I'm gonna try pulling and put a new sensor in. Thanks for the help figuring this out.
