give a good tune up. if it still is acting up let me know

SOURCE: My 93 Chevy Cheyenne has no headlights, tail lights, horn.

ck the wire that comes from starter,,see if it didnt rotted off,,

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the intake manifold and sends engine temperature information to the ECM. The ECM supplies 5 volts to the coolant temperature sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor which changes internal resistance as temperature changes. When the sensor is cold (internal resistance high), the ECM monitors a high signal voltage which it interprets as a cold engine. As the sensor warms (internal resistance low), the ECM monitors a low signal voltage which it interprets as warm engine.

TESTING

1. Remove the ECT sensor from the vehicle.
   
2. Immerse the tip of the sensor in container of water.
   
3. Connect a digital ohmmeter to the two terminals of the sensor.
   
4. Using a calibrated thermometer, compare the resistance of the sensor to the temperature of the water. Refer to the engine coolant sensor temperature vs. resistance illustration.
5. Repeat the test at two other temperature points, heating or cooling the water as necessary.
   
6. If the sensor does not met specification shown in the temperature versus resistance chart, it must be replaced.
   
7. The sensor may also be checked in the vehicle. Unplug the sensor and attach a digital ohmmeter to the two terminals of the sensor.
   
8. Using a calibrated thermometer, compare the resistance of the sensor to the ambient air temperature.
   
9. Repeat the test at two other temperature points, heating or cooling the water as necessary.
   
10. If the sensor does not met specification shown in the temperature versus resistance chart, it must be replaced.
