I am sure you see some weird stuff Bernd. Think about all that is going on
under the hood of our trucks these days with the PCM and all the sensors and
wiring. I find it amazing that these things work as well as they do.
Connectors alone throw another hiccup into all the processes that have to be
just right. Depending on climate and conditions, these trucks can begin to
develop their own running "personalities" if you will, I saw this on all the
Harleys that I worked on for many years and this was long before there were
any solid state electronic systems on them.

We can debate this all day if needed. There's theory, and then there's real
world. You'd be surprised at some of the strange electrical issues we see
on these vehicles.

No es possible, senor... I'm not sure if you read my post or not, but I
didn't just pull a lead and see what changes (?) I removed the sensor and
put an ohm meter between the body of the sensor and each pin, individually.
Result: there is
absolutely no continuity between either pin and the body of
the temp sensor. Long story short, this means that there
are only two possible ways that putting sealant on the
threads of the sensor can affect the signal output:
