Jemmons467 179 Posted June 3, 2021 So I was cleaning under my wheeler, 2000 Foreman 450 ES, I noticed this random wire hanging by the rear on the engine and it appears to go up to the right rear tire. I did not get a chance to chase it, dinner, kids and all, so I figured I'd post it up real quick. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THH 297 Posted June 3, 2021 Looks like the wire that should connect to the oil temp sensor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jemmons467 179 Posted June 4, 2021 Thank you, hopefully I'll have the time to get back under there this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted June 4, 2021 do you have another pic , I just was working on my 2000 450 temp sensor , wire in the same general area , but something just don't look right for the temp wire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,760 Posted June 4, 2021 Oil temp sensor wire that came unplugged. About straight in from the foot pegs in the middle of the motor (general area) you'll find the sensor to plug it back in so your fan will work. You might want to squeeze the connector a little since it looks like it spread a little. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still have the belly pan off mine from changing out the temp sensor that Retro sent me in his Temp controller monitor / Gizmo kit and I looked at that wire day before yesterday after this thread came up , that's why I asked to see another pic , now I am looking at a 2000 S and not a ES , but don't think that would be any different 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jemmons467 179 Posted June 5, 2021 @THH @Fishfiles I think you are right, the boot is gone and there is only electrical tape on it now. Once I get under there I might try either heat shrink or high temp silicone in it to keep it on and covered. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jemmons467 179 Posted June 6, 2021 @Fishfiles the boot was still on the oil temp sensor so I re-taped it 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
