    03 325i code p2185 need help please!

    Car isn't overheating, temp gauge is where it should be. I replaced ect sensor #2 and the connector to it, still have a stored code p2185 coolant sensor #2 circuit high. Strangely enough this happened right after someone broke into my car (they got under it and disconnected my horn and lights, and this, among other things, i don't know why). ever since i've had this code. I checked for loose connections, broken wires, etc...no luck. I have no experience diagnosing with a multimeter, but I have one. I couldn't find any additional help from other threads.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    There is a second Temp sensor in the lower radiator hose on the passenger side, see if that one is connected.
