Does anyone want to take a picture for me of which coolant temp sensor goes to the ecu and which goes to the dash?

is the one circled in red the ecu sensor and the one in green the dash then?



cuz i was going through parts i got from a guy in cali off his RB and his lower radiator hose has a sensor in it and that sensor happens to plug into my lower harness where i have an extra plug not being used. I was wondering if that is for the ecu maybe?

no the one circled in red is the vtc solenoid.the spade connector temp sensor is for the gauge cluster where the two pin one is for the ecu.
