Topic: extruder temp not reading

More Xyz da Vinci issues. The extruder quit heating. Turned out to be the cheap black connector on the harness. Now the extruder heats but the temp always reads 20C. I replaced the thermistor which did not fix the problem. The fan also no longer comes on when the extruder starts heating up.  What has gone wrong?

I just got my Da Vinci 1.0A and damaged the head thermistor wires. Need replace the thermistor now, What thermistor did you use? Where did you found it?

Thanks
