Default External Temp Sensor

Does the external temp sensor plug into anything? My cord is hanging out the bottom near the oil filter and the temp reading is way way way off. Does it need to plug into anything or does it just need to be put back near the front of the rad? Thanks so much for any help.

Default no plug for it and that may not be the cause of you ext temp. I didn't even have one and my

temp stayed fairly accurate. If the bracket isn't there for it (they usually break) just zip-tie it in there.
I think there is another sensor for the outside display somewhere near the cabin filter. I may be wrong though.
