Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know if my temperature sensor has failed? A: Common signs include a gauge that never moves, reads erratically, or triggers false overheat warnings. Testing resistance across the temperature range confirms whether the sender is still within spec.

Q: Does this sensor include the electrical connector? A: The sensor is supplied as the sender unit shown, matching the OEM 278000965 connection point. Reuse your existing harness plug unless it shows corrosion or damage.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
