I checked Advance'* site & the temperature senders are $12 - $27 depending on brand. Since the fans came on when you bypassed the sensor I'd just replace it.

Thanks for checking out the pricing for me, I forgot that in the US. you can check pricing online.........cool. I just checked Rock lobster and came up with this, keep in mind it doesn't include shipping, and I don't know if it would get to Boosty'* in time.
