Temperature Senders

A temperature sender is a small sensor that threads into the engine, usually into a coolant passage. Its electrical resistance changes as the temperature rises and falls. An electric gauge reads that signal and shows you how hot the engine is running. People fit a new sender when an old one fails, when gauge readings look wrong, or when they add an aftermarket gauge and need a sender that matches it.

We currently have 1 temperature sender in stock, from AutoMeter: the AutoMeter Replacement Sender for Short Sweep Electric Temperature Gauges (for Gauges 1995+). It is a replacement sender for AutoMeter short sweep electric temperature gauges.

When choosing a sender, keep these points in mind:

  • Match the sender to your gauge brand and type, since resistance ranges can differ between makers.
  • Check that your gauge falls within the years the sender is listed for.
  • Confirm the thread size and mounting location on your engine before ordering, as an adapter may be needed.
  • If the sender grounds through the engine, use a sealant that will not block that ground connection.
