Default 97 LS400 fan temp switch sensor ..Bottom Radiator..

Wanted to replace fan switch sensor on the bottom of the radiator above bottom radiator hose.I had just drained old coolant out of the radiator and block and replaced it.( Oreilly carries the toyota red coolant and the proper tranny fluid also)here in Houston...So went to one auto parts store..the part looked correct ...but when I got home and installed it ...the connector would not fit..so when I finally gave up and removed it..I saw that it was rectangular inside and my wiring connection was oval,but very similar.. So to save yourself time take your old one and compare it..I finally found the correct one at AutoZone..for a 97 ls400..and fits perfect and works...But remember(Do not over tighten!) Part # fan switch SW1434..Hope this helps ..this site is awesome and has helped me so much and saves me lots of money..thank you guys..

Since when has O'Reilly started carrying Toyota Long Life Red coolant and Toyota T-IV transmission fluid?

I would love to see a cell phone pic of this stuff on the shelf at O'Reilly, that would be breaking news!

also, what were the prices?

it may have been coolant for toyota vehicles in red color, not specifically in a toyota bottle. this is incorrect. it should be from toyota itself! same with the trans fluid but i hope you prove me wrong.
