coolant temp switch problem

I got a error code the other day and the bike will not start. Pluged in the ibeat. No coolant temp reading. Code is for low ( I think it's rang or someting) When I unpluged it, it goes to high. I found water inside plug. I checked ohms on the switch and got 6.12. I would think I would be able to read some sort of temp. Any ideas? bad sendor?

Most temp sending units that I have seen as bad in M/C or reading Hyd or AFT the unit will peg to the highest reading.. Missed wired or poor connections was always a low reading.. I'm not sure with the Husky ...Yet

I get what your saying. On the thermometer on the Ibeat it is at the bottom and showing no red on the themometer. When I unplug it, it goes all the way to the top full red.

so far everyone who has "diagnosed' a bad temp sensor found out by trying to start- and it won't- unplugging it and it will.

If yours does the same then we can correlate your Ibeat findings with a bad sensor- would seem like it is bad from your findings...
