Make sure when you plug the termo housing switch back in the it is on the right way. If there is enoguht of that plastic shroud to show you how it clips in. Then just electric tape around it till you can replace it.
The termo housing All have the thermostate temp guage on it , That shows your temp on your dashboard, it the smaller tip .
.THe thermo housing sensor i beleive is used to communicate when the thermostate opens with the ecu. Or somehting to do with that. My 89 accord Lxi actually has 2 sensors pluged in on the housing with the temp guage. Dont mix them up or plug in on backwards..
And dont break the little wire clip on the sensor when you push it back on.
