Sensor don’t work
So got system all wired 100% works great! Was a dummy for a second and thought it didn’t work but works great … don’t forget to ground the adapter!

Sensor had slight issue, but seller solved my problem.
Adapter is great quality. Only issue is have is the sensor seems to have an intermittent connection issue. The blade connector coming through the black resin is loose and slightly moves causing two issues, a coolant leak and the fans to kick on and off. **Edited rating. The seller quickly resolved my issue and sent out a replacement temp sensor to fix my issue. Thanks again!

Is This Junk or Am I Just Unlucky? Am I Missing Something?
I prefer that this thing just worked, especially with a name like "American Volt Automotive." Unfortunately, this is the second one that did not work. After cutting an inch out of the radiator hose on my 1969 Saab 96 V4, a hose that is hard to find and expensive when you do, this second electric fan sensor has failed. The first one triggered the fan, as it should, but then stuck in the "on" position. The replacement that was sent did not come on, causing the engine to overheat. The attached images show my testing of the sensor. Connecting a 12v power source and a 12v LED light, simply touching or shaking the housing/sensor, caused the LED to illuminate, as shown in the video. You can see in the static images that an infrared temperature sensor is used to show the fan sensor temperature. (73.5 degrees Fahrenheit) the sensor is triggered, and the LED is illuminated. I'm keeping the second housing as it is a well-made unit, but the sensor seems absolute junk for such a critical device.

Did not work
Wired exactly like directions specified and Fan never comes on . Connected 12 v wire to sending wire and fan works. Bad thermostat? Bad relay? Bad product?
