Is it the gauge sensor or sender ?




Well.. all stores tend to get these things mixed.

For my car it was "Temperature Switch/Sender" found under the Switches section of Advanceautoparts.com

On my car the right part was listed under the 97's. I don't know why, my guess is because it was an early 98 model car?

Was listed as "Sending Unit" GP Sorensen TSU183

I've seen so many types of tempurature senders it would be best to look at your real good before buying any parts. You can normally tell by looking at the connection end what sender part it is. On mine I had a locking wire and 2 tabs on the side. On other cars there is just one plastic tab in the center.
