The PIR sensor we got said it could switch 2300W but after opening the box, it says max LED load is 100W. Why is this? Will the PIS be okay or will we need to...

    coolant temp sensor > is polarity important?

    Does it matter which way you connect the 2 wires to an engine's coolant temperature sensor? Does the thermistor inside the sensor have polarity? I do not know the pinouts on the car's temperature sensor and I do not want to risk damaging the car's computer. Thanks in advance.
