1980zx need a thermo time switch

I just thought of something.  The connectors are the same and people hook them up wrong all the time.  You may just swap the plugs around and get back working.  If I remember right thermotine is brownish, temp gauge is greenish or off white?

My temp gauge sensor has a single wire, bullet connector.

if I clean the brass would that maybe work ?

Yes.  Calcium from the water covers them over the years and they lose their sensitivity. Wire wheel, sandpaper whatever you have that won't gouge it.  Clean all three. The wire on the temp gauge may need the female end squeezed together
