CT WTF is this thing?
Can someone please tell me what this is:



It is located under the carpet, on the passanger side of the car. My friend and I scratched our head for awile and then gave up. It looks like some sorta sensor.

Anyone know? Can it be removed or relocated, since I want to Dynamat the floor boards...

Can it simply be removed and just no longer have a working dash light?
Cause with Dynamat it probably wont work anymore through it, and I dont want to cover it with mat either...

Take this for what it's worth.

I have had RX-7's for about 8 years now. I have even had the catalytic converters glowing cherry red. I have never had the overheat sensor go off.


With that, do what you think needs to be done.

Get rid of it and get a Pinapple Racing dual EGT gauge instead.

It'll always be a mystery to me how a dual EGT gauge relates to that sensor.

That's an odd location for a Staples Easy Button.

Probes are sold independently at $50 each, so you end up paying the same price for what looks to be a MUCH much cheaper Item...
