Instead of making up "Jargons" that are not known to anyone but the poster, the poster should learn something about what he is trying to post. Oh, that is why he is asking on the forum, then he should just ask about the problem he is having, instead of making up stupid Jargons that no one knows what he is trying to say.

Probe is quite a well known name for sensor. It's quite ok to use common English to ask questions in English. OP asked effectively "which sensor" regulated the aux fan; answer; "not that simple" then went on to describe a problem with the inside blower motor.

Maybe in your Universe, but not according to Google or Mr. Webster.

Sometimes you have to look on to the second meaning:
That exactly describes a temp sensor such as the one in the lower radiator hose and yes I did a dictionary lookup before I posted to confirm it was a perfectly acceptable use of the word probe (as I have used all my life). Probe means sensor as much as preferences means settings. The words are equally interchangeable. (Of course as a noun not a verb, aliens don't "sensor" people they take in their sleep").

I'm not the only one on this forum that didn't understand what the OP was trying to say.

Doesn't mean I didn't.
Three was a definite disconnect between aux fan and blower motor talk which is why I brought the blower fan into the discussion. I will usually try to interpret what is meant by the question so I can save a round of back and forth. I'm correct more often than not and it saves a lot of back and forth just asking somebody to re-ask the same question differently. Once in a while the conversion goes on a tangent into alien abduction but that's ok.

My source was Siri. She didn't say her source unfortunately. I selected probe on my phone and picked lockup. Oddly once you tap on a definition the phone doesn't show the source but when I re-did the look up I noticed it does show "new American Oxford" on the main results page before i pick a result. That said, when I searched online the first three dictionary results I looked at incl Webster, the free dictionary and Cambridge all include the well known meaning of the word. Probe means sensor sensor means probe. The subtle difference semantically is that a probe implies it's poking into somewhere to sense something inisde vs. more generic sensor (arguably less accurate) makes no implication and could easily be meausuring the outside of something. Clearly the sensors in question (engine coolant, radiator outlet, inisde air) are all probe versions of sensors (small electrode that pokes into somewhere to measure something inside). I find it a perfectly acceptable use of the word being more precise than the product name "sensor" and is not confusing at all.
