I have two sensors on the other side of the coolant filler neck, but I thought those were the stock temp sensor and the fan thermoswitch.

There's no wire to suggest it was removed though (I put in a fresh rebuild three weeks ago, so I know quite well what's under my hood).

not a good idea......... this is one part of the car that i have lost an engine in the FC years ago and almost lost one in the FD by trying to shortcut.
Treat this device as a heart monitor for the FD.........

if you dig out the center section of that sensor you should be able to reattach some wire to it. just be careful, take your time, and refill it with some silicone or something. . . but honestly, you should replace it since it actually LEAKED. you said the threads were shot. . . id replace it man.

Malloy does not charge for shipping and they are near the east coast warehouse. Other dealers have to wait up to one week for the part to arrive or they will charge you express shipping costs from the warehouse.
