Is this the pressure switch I have to bridge?

Either leave the sensor on the loom in the frunk or bridge the 2 pins with some wire.![]()
you don't have to bridge the sensor, it's the plug on the loom that needs bridging.The non AC cars have a tiny plug that does this bridging but 2 spade connectors and a bit of wire works just as well.

On my car for the moment I just took the sensor out of the pipe(I've fully removed all parts of the AC system) and left the sensor on the loom plug.
I intend to bridge the pins as a lasting fix.
The plugs..
is the one on the right the sensor for the bonnet latch? the other one looks like the plug for the temp sensor in the rad.

So in the first picture i need to bridge the connector thats on the loom?
my new radiator doesnt have a temp sensor port.presume thats not going to help things.

id rather have it automatically cool the engine as it will be a street car.i wouldn't trust myself to remember to turn the fans on.
.
but worst case its definitely an option.

That way the switch is shorting and unshorting the link which in turn turns the fans on and off.
Like i said, if your coolant system is running ok then you shouldnt really need it but its just handy to have if you find your car is suddenly getting too hot you can just flip the switch and possible save your headgasket.
I was already running cables and already had a spare switch mounted so it was an extra minute for me to do it.

right, so my 2nd picture, remove the wires from the connector, then just extend the wiring to a switch on my dash..
is it really that simple?

have you tried plugging the sensor into the plug?
the other lose plugs you found, one of them wasn't for the rad temp sensor was it?
