Hello,

So my temp gauge is not working in my truck. So I found the sensor on the passenger side of the engine block and removed the connector. Its a single wire. I touched it to ground to test the gauge and the gauge is working. This tells me the sensor is bad. So I go to Advance auto parts to order a new one. They either cant order it or cant find one that has a single pin on it. All they can find is the double pin. I already replaced that one. It goes next to the thermostat housing. I called some other shops and they cant find a single pin sensor either. Does anyone know where I can buy one or have a part number that I can use to find the one I need??

 

Is this what you are needing?

 

Close but no. My connector is different than the one you have pictured. Mine looks identical to the one that goes by the thermostat. The only difference is it has 1 terminal. The one you posted might work but I would have to cut my connector off and splice in the one that fits that plug.

 

I believe I have finally found the one I need. O'riellys has it I guess. Here it is for any future people who may have this problem. Autozone and advance auto parts cant even order this but O'riellys has it in stock.
